Abstract: |
A detailed survey was taken of the City Wall during a programme of conservation including the removal of vegetation and soil. The areas recorded included the East Wall north of the High Street and the North Wall. The dangerous state of the post medieval wall in one area led to its removal and replacement with a modern structure. A small excavation was also carried out which exposed fabric of the Roman Wall. The medieval wall survives best at the south east corner and north of the High Street. It is not clear whether the presence of two types of medieval masonry on the East Wall external elevation, represents two phases of construction, with the earliest representing an earlier medieval wall not so far identified.
