Abstract: |
A small evaluation was undertaken on land close to the street front in Spen Lane. Previous archaeological work in the area had demonstrated that well preserved medieval deposits and structures lay close to the surface along the Spen Lane street frontage further to the north-west. Nothing of Roman or Anglo-Scandinavian date was found, although this initially deemed to be unlikely as deposits of those dates were known to lie at deeper levels. The existence of medieval deposits, features and structures was clearly demonstrated although these were not excavated. Deposits uncovered were believed to have been occupation layers within a building which contained one or more hearths. The post-medieval period was represented by deposits representing the demolition of the medieval buildings prior to the area becoming open ground. [Au(adp)] |
