Abstract: |
The evaluation, comprising 49m of 5m wide trenches, was undertaken prior to the submission of a planning application for the residential redevelopment of the site. In trench 1, on the Hyde Street frontage, exceptionally deep and well-preserved archaeological deposits were identified. These included the Roman road from Winchester-Silchester and suburban occupation flanking its western side, dating from the late 1st-4th centuries AD. Possible evidence for the continued use of the road into the 9th-11th centuries was identified, and its disuse by the 12th century. Subsequent occupation then flanked the east side of Hyde Street, and included a well-preserved sequence of deposits rating to a medieval tenement dating from the 12th-16th centuries. Trench 2, within the precinct of medieval Hyde Abbey revealed substantial masonry relating to two successive buildings that were likely to have formed part of the domestic buildings of the monastery. These overlay a north-south aligned metalled surface that possibly formed part of a Roman suburban street. Post-dating the monastery building, shallow ditches were identified that probably related to the formal gardens of the 16th-18th century Hyde House. Trench 3 revealed further deposits that probably related to the medieval monastery. Trenches 4 and 5, situated towards the south-east of the site, revealed little evidence for archaeological activity. The evaluation concluded that a large area of the site contained important well-preserved archaeological deposits, rare outside of the walled area of the town. [Au(abr)] |
