Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken to the rear of Ye Olde Bowling Green Public House on Oxford St. Three phases of activity were detected, with archaeological deposits being encountered at 0.5m and having a total depth of 1.15m . Phase 1 comprised sandy gravels of uncertain date, sealed by spreads and features of 13th to 14th century date (phase 2). The presence of residual Roman and possibly Anglo-Saxon pottery might indicate that Phase 1 activity related to these periods. The phase 2 features included a cess pit and a pit with clay lining and represent fairly typical medieval backyard activity, adding to the picture of this medieval suburb already examine across the road in Bonners Lane (TLAHS 68, pp.165-70). The phase 3 post-medieval activity comprising garden soil and rubbish pits related to the present structure and its 17th century precursor. [Au(adp)]\n |
