Abstract: |
Four evaluation pits were excavated on the site during this phase of archaeological works. It was not possible to excavate other evaluation pits because of difficulties with access. Late medieval soil horizons are present in areas of proposed redevelopment. The presence of five articulated burials in situ confirms the location of a post-medieval burial ground within the footprint of the northern block of the proposed development. Other deeply cut, post-medieval archaeological features (backfilled red-brick wells) survive and cut into the natural gravels. Numerous disarticulated human remains, early 19th century anatomical teaching specimens present in post-medieval deposit present in the same area. |
