| Abstract: |
The archaeological watching brief noted natural features cut into the geology, dating from the 13th to 14th centuries. In the northern part of the site medieval remains were mostly confined to the western part, signifying less dense activity or greater post-medieval truncation within 5 Market Street compared with No.3. Shoe and offcut fragments suggested 'cobbling' in perhaps the late medieval period, whilst 17th century ceramics implied the presence of a chemists shop. Much pitting characterised the later post-medieval period. In the southern part of the site most of the earlier deposits had been truncated away by post-medieval and early modern cellarage. Nonetheless, in the centre of the site a small area of complex medieval deposits remained, which could have represented the demolition of 13th-14th century buildings and associated features including a ditch. At the High Street frontage a small area of surviving deposits hinted at a sequence of buildings from the medieval period onwards. [Au(abr)] |
