Abstract: |
In the north of the site two trenches revealed pits, evidence of postholes structures and ditches which contained large quantities of industrial ironworking slag and suggest that a bloomery existed close to the site. In the middle of the site the levels that the natural was identified at suggest slightly lower lying ground and two closely associated property boundaries in this location potentially suggest the demarcation between industrial activities to the north and domestic activities to the south. In the southern part of the site these domestic orientated features include gullies and domestic refuse pits which may suggest a property on or close to the site. Two further land boundaries were also identified in the south that outline the land parcel north of the old cinema building that lies directly to the south of the site. Overall the intensity of activity is not high, as would be expected on the edge of the main medieval occupation area, and the general trend is that the medieval activity on the site can be placed in the c. 14th and 15th centuries. |
