Abstract: |
An archaeological assessment was undertaken in response to a proposal to redevelop the Central Library. The site lay just outside the line of the medieval town wall immediately west of the site of Carliol Tower and north of Plummer Tower, a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The projected course of the town wall ran east-west under New Bridge Street and the projected line of the wall ditch ran through the southern part of the site. The site underwent considerable development during the 19th century and the late 1960s and 1970. As some survival of the town wall ditch may have been possible, a watching brief was recommended during any groundworks. [Au(adp)] |
