| Abstract: |
Two evaluation trenches indicated that occupation began in the Norman period with the construction of a masonry building, possibly a merchant's house or associated structure. In the 14th century the Norman building was replaced by a more substantial stone structure that probably fulfilled a similar range of purposes. By the early post-medieval period this had largely been demolished with elements of it reused in a warehouse-type building. Trench two contained remains of waterfront character. Evidence of truncated and damaged wicker structures were recorded running across the largely unimproved early medieval river foreshore. During the 13 or 14th centuries a wooden quay was created. By the 15th or 16th centuries the wooden revetment was replaced by a well-made brick wall. Three in situ preserved wooden fenders or mooring posts were found on the outer side of the quayside wall. In the mid 17th century the embayment or inlet was filled in and by the 18th century brick-built domestic buildings had begun to be constructed. [Au(abr)] |
