Abstract: |
During October 2006, Archaeological Solutions Ltd carried out an archaeological excavation prior to the development of land. The excavation was commissioned in advance of the proposed redevelopment of the site for residential use. Forty-four archaeological features were identified during the excavation. The features were sub-divided into four dated phases. Two pits and residual pottery indicated that the site had been occupied during the early to high medieval period. The majority (fifteen) of the features were sand quarry pits, and nine dated to the late medieval/post medieval. Three early modern features were also recorded. Twenty-one archaeological features produced no dateable finds and could not be phased. Although sparse, Phase 1 (13th to 14th century) features are possibly indicative of settlement activity in the medieval period. The 15th to 17th century (Phase 2) saw a shift in land-use to industrial activity represented by nine quarry pits. Quarrying appears to have ceased by the 17th - 19th century (Phase 3), possibly to be replaced by a butchery and/or tannery industry. The archaeology of Phase 4 relates to the early modern development of North Street. |
