Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment and field evaluation was undertaken in advance of the residential redevelopment of the site. The site was located within the historic core of the town. The desk-based assessment indicated the possibility of prehistoric, Roman, medieval and later remains on the site and discussed the likely nature of surviving deposits. The available documentary evidence showed that the site had been part of the built-up area at least since the early 19th century and lay in the area of a medieval port. Field evaluation of the site revealed areas of widespread disturbance, but also indicated the remains of Romano-British occupation in the vicinity of the site. Materials relating to salt production (in particular briquetage) were recorded from a thick layer of mixed alluvium/levelling on the site (believed to have been of Roman date). No archaeological features of Roman date were recorded. [Au(abr)] |
