| Abstract: |
Three trenches were opened. Trenches two and three identified the remains of workers housing know to exist in this area of the city dating from before 1831 in the case of trench two but 1875 in the case of trench three. Trench three also revealed the remains of the two phases of building know from the documentary evidence to have existed in this area, the first phase being the Primitive Methodist Chapel. A thin Roman occupation layer was noted overlying the natural in trench two, and a possible ditch identified in trench one. Samples were taken from the ditch in trench three. In all three trenches thick layers of clean silt were present above the Roman layers, but predating the workers housing. Pottery and finds from within these layers suggested a post-medieval date.
