| Abstract: |
Three separate areas were excavated in advance of the redevelopment of the site. All areas not included in the excavation that were subject to redevelopment were recorded as part of a watching brief. No prehistoric features were recorded during the excavation. The small quantity of struck flint suggested that there was limited prehistoric activity in the area, but it was not clear how far these few residual finds had travelled, and therefore uncertain how close this site was to any settlement. A few residual Roman finds including both building material and pottery were recovered from some of the site. All this material appeared to be residual. It was reasonable to assume that if there had been Roman settlement in the vicinity of the site, then greater quantities of Roman finds would have been recovered. There was no evidence to suggest that Guildford Street was Roman in origin. A small amount of Saxon pottery was recovered from a number of features at the southern end of the site. These features suggested that there was limited Saxon activity on the site. A number of features, including a large ditch alongside Guildford Street, dated to the Saxon-Norman and early medieval periods. This discovery showed a continual use of the site from the Saxon to the post-medieval periods. A number of medieval features were recorded across the site. These took a number of forms, but were generally pits of varying size. A number of the features recorded during the work were post-medieval in date. [Au(adp)] |
