Abstract: |
A number of substantial pits were recorded within the development area. These included potential quarry pits, some showing re-use as rubbish pits, and a possible well. The archaeological remains recorded during the evaluation were similar in character to those encountered during excavations undertaken by The Whittlesey Society in the early 1980s. These works, comprising a total of fifteen test pits, revealed medieval pitting in the centre of the development area with a possible later cobbled surface towards the east The archaeological deposits recorded by the current evaluation and the excavations of the 1980s suggest that the plot formed part of a yard or garden during the Medieval period, in all likelihood this was associated with properties fronting the Market Square. |
