Abstract: |
The evaluation formed the second phase of work undertaken on the development site. The previous phase consisted on two trenches within the western portion of the site and identified the presence of Roman and medieval ditches. The present phase consisted of three trenches within the eastern portion of the site known to have been used as a cemetery during the medieval and post-medeival periods. Roman quarry pits were recorded within trench 3 and Roman deposits, probably fills of a deep cut feature were found within trench 4. Two medeival rubbish pits were recorded within trench 3. Overlying the Roman and medieval archaeology was the largely undisturbed medieval / post-medieval cemetery. In total 91 individuals were excavated, 35 from trench 3, 36 from trench 4 and 20 from trench 5. Not all the burials were excavated within trenches 4 and 5. Included within these burials were 7 brick lined burials dating to the 2nd half of the 19th century. The evaluation revealed that the site had been levelled prior to its present use as a car park but the cemetery has been largely unaffected by this work. |
