Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment and field evaluation were undertaken in advance of the proposed residential redevelopment of the site. The desk-based assessment indicated the possibility of medieval and post-medieval remains on the site, as well as those of earlier periods. The site was located within the northern part of the historic core of the town, which grew up around Ramsey Abbey during the late Saxon and medieval periods. The field evaluation revealed a sequence of medieval and post-medieval deposits containing sparse quantities of shell, animal bone and tile dating to the late medieval/early post-medieval periods and more recent times. The only archaeological feature present was an early post-medieval ditch. The evaluation revealed evidence of flooding during the medieval period. [Au(abr)] |
