Abstract: |
The watching brief comprised the observation of 33 foundation pits for the erection of stanchions as part of the construction of the shops and accommodation, as well as the excavation of trenches for drains and services. There was evidence of the former cattle market on this site in the form of cobbled surfaces and the sandstone foundations of numerous walls. Furthermore, in four of the five geotechnical trenches, pits and structural features probably dating to the medieval period and one probable Roman burial were observed. A number of features pre-dating the market were recorded in the smaller foundation pits, which may be dated to the Roman or medieval periods. [Au(abr)] |
