| Abstract: |
A small rescue excavation was carried out in advance of development, and groundworks associated with the development were monitored. Previous archaeological work in the vicinity of the site had revealed possible medieval wall footings, a number of probable Roman features and a layer of flint metalling, possibly representing the remains of a street. During the excavation and watching brief, two sherds of Late Iron Age pottery were recovered from a post-medieval pit, and two Saxo-Norman pits and two possible Roman features, comprising a pit and a small pit or post-hole, were recorded. Roman and Saxo-Norman material was found within later pits. Further features included medieval and post-medieval pits and the remains of late 18th-19th century almshouses. It was noted that post-medieval disturbance had reduced or removed earlier features to the extent that only the most general conclusions could be drawn from the findings. The site, or sites in the near vicinity, had been occupied throughout the Roman period and during the Saxo-Norman and medieval periods. The relatively large, deep pits of the post-medieval period had almost certainly been dug to extract clay for the production of bricks and tiles. [AIP] |
