Abstract: |
An evaluation of the site proposed for development added important information on the development of the area over the last millennium. The finding of further sherds of Roman pottery in late deposits, added to earlier finds in the town centre, and the evaluation on Chapel Street to the rear of No.1 Causeway indicated the presence of Romano-British settlement of relatively high status in the vicinity of Chapel Street and Market Square. Previous archaeological work had established that the area south of Causeway had been low-lying and marshy. This evaluation (which consisted of the excavation of three trial trenches) confirmed that this was the case in the 10-11th century when rubbish was being disposed of in the marsh. The first attempt at land reclamation appeared to have been carried out in the 14th-15th centuries with further raising of the land in the 17th century. From that date activities relating to the shops fronting Causeway were carried out on this land. [Au(adp)] |
