Abstract: |
A large, possibly defensive, medieval ditch with a narrower re-cut was recorded in the west of the site. This was sealed by redeposited alluvium containing 12th/13th century pottery, dumped to reclaim this marshy land. The ditch was then replaced by a stone culvert, the "Law Ditch", while a series of stone and/or timber structures were constructed with a typical medieval frameworks of long narrow burgage plots fronting onto the medieval streets. During the 17th/18th centuries further stone structures were constructed across the site. During the 18th/19th centuries a new sequence of stone and brick structures was constructed, some of which related to either the brewery or sugar refineries. [Au(abr)] |
