Abstract: |
This report describes the results of sample trenching, post-fieldwork analysis, and documentary research. The aim of the project was to establish the presence or absence of significant remains within 1m of existing surfaces. The site lay at the east end of a medieval and later tenement. It also lay in an area of Roman settlement and Neolithic/Bronze Age activity. Two trenches were excavated inside the building, through surfaces of 19th century bricks and tiles. The earliest deposit was a garden soil containing 15th to 18th century pottery. This was sealed by made ground containing 19th or 20th century pottery. The latter deposits are thought to represent the replacement of an earlier substrate. They also contained residual Roman and medieval pottery. Other evidence suggests that the building was built in the 18th century, and formed part of a row of twelve cottages. None of the deposits identified in the evaluation are thought to merit further investigation or preservation in situ. However, the results suggest that more significant deposits survive below the limit of excavation. |
