Abstract: |
A watching brief during groundworks for a new Sports Hall demonstrated that the site had been raised and levelled by refuse dumping in the early 20th century. Although some topsoil had been removed during this dumping, small areas , possibly redeposited, remained. Earlier deposits and at least one shallow ditch survived. Dating of the ditch was unsatisfactory but there was no evidence for a date later than early 13th century. Anglo-Saxon pottery sherds were found in association with animal and fish bones but the context could not be investigated in detail. Limestone pieces with signs of burning but no apparent working were found in the backfill of the existing building's foundation trench. The latest dateable artefacts beneath the landfill were 15th century or earlier. [Au] |
