Abstract: |
Following an initial desktop study, a small scale archaeological evaluation was undertaken in a site within an Area of High Archaeological Potential. The evaluation produced evidence of post-medieval disturbance which may have related to a number of unidentified features shown on the First Edition OS plan of the city. Ephemeral traces of earlier activity were demonstrated only by the presence of two small and highly abraded sherds of Romano-British pottery derived from the surface of the natural gravels which underlay the area. Taken together with evidence gained from a prior watching brief and information gathered during the initial desktop study, this evaluation confirmed the archaeological potential of the site to have been negligible and precluded the necessity for any further archaeological intervention within the potential development area as a whole.
