Abstract: |
A watching brief was held during the excavation of seven pile positions and four soakaways at New College. Soakaways 1 and 2 positioned between the city walls produced sequences of deposits and some cut features with associated stonework; soakaway 3 in the vegetable garden produced garden soils; soakaway 4 produced a shallow retaining wall running north-south, with made ground to the west and garden soils to the east. A stone-lined culvert was exposed at the base of the outer city wall in the drain run from soakaway 4. The pile positions showed details of the construction and periodic repair of the outer city wall and also showed the sequence of dumped deposits running between the walls to a depth of 1m. Pile position 1 revealed a limestone cobbled surface and discovered that the ledge in the wall was absent here. [Au(adp)] |
