Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief for a sewer connection was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited. The main objectives were to determine if there was further evidence for the possible palaeochannel identified to the south of the site; if there was any evidence of prehistoric activity on site; and if there was any evidence of the continuation of post-medieval activity, especially industrial activity such as tanning as found to the south of the site. Possible traces of a palaeochannel were identified in the western portion of the site, but the excavation showed no evidence for prehistoric remains. Along with several 18th to 19th century walls a possible tanning pit was also recorded during the investigation. The structural remains discovered at the site probably represent buildings associated with local industry. Site plans from the current investigation were compared to site plans from the 1998 excavation in order to compare the wall locations of the two investigations. It does not appear that the walls found during the current investigation represent a continuation of the walls found during the previous excavation. |
