Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out on a plot of land which was the subject of an application to extend an area originally covered by a development proposal. The original area had been subject to trial excavation and survey, whilst desk-based assssment had revealed that evidence of prehistoric and Roman activity had been recorded in the surrounding area. The site lay outside the core of the medieval town, but may have contained the site of a 14th century water mill. Weaving sheds and two reservoirs of mid-18th century and later date, associated with a nearby flax mill, had lain on the site, but had been demolished in the 20th century. During the 1997 evaluation, a pit or ditch and a smaller feature, both containing modern debris, were recorded. Two monitoring visits were subsequently made during groundworks. A brick-built culvert was recorded, and it was observed that the site had been substantially terraced and artificially levelled. It was recommended that no further archaeological work should be undertaken. [Au(adp)] |
