Abstract: |
Northamptonshire Archaeology carried out a watching brief during the excavation of test pits on land between Harnall Lane East, Bath Street, Weston Street and Swanswell Street, Coventry. Ten pits, each approximately 2.5m long and 0.6m wide were excavated under archaeological supervision. All pits were excavated until the limit of the reach of the mechanical excavator or the natural sub strata were identified. The site had been extensively terraced during re-development in the 1960s and recent demolition of tower blocks had removed much of the evidence for earlier activity. Traces of 19th century terraced house brick foundations were identified in three pits. No other archaeological remains were present. |
