Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment and trial trench evaluation was undertaken in advance of the redevelopment of the site. The desk-based assessment showed the site to lie close to the line of Roman Ermine Street, and adjacent to the area of the suspected Danish and late Saxon settlement. The area had always remained within the core of the medieval settlement, though the extent of actual occupation was believed to have fluctuated considerably over time. The trial trench evaluation revealed the remains of a 19th century brick building which had been cellared, destroying most of the remaining archaeological deposits. A small test pit through made ground to the south revealed several shallow layers containing probable post-medieval brick, mortar, tile and other deposits. A single medieval sherd was recovered, but could not be linked to the existing deposits. [Au(abr)] |
