Abstract: |
Twenty-eight evaluation trenches were excavated across the c.4.5ha site, of which eleven were found to contain below-ground archaeological remains. A low density of Roman, and possible Roman, pits and ditches was identified at either end of the site. These appear to denote a low level of land use at this time. The majority of the remains were medieval pits and ditches. These were scattered across the southwestern and central parts of the site, but displayed a marked concentration and intercut complexity at the northeast end of the site. It is possible that this concentration represents the western edge of a rural settlement outside the medieval town, of likely mid-11th to 13th, and possibly later, date. |
