Abstract: |
Proposed development plans for 21 Woburn Street comprise: the retention of the existing buildings fronting Woburn Street; associated works for provision of car parking to the rear; demolition of a former commercial/industrial unit in the middle of the site; and the erection of two residential units on the Park Street frontage. Albion Archaeology was commissioned, to undertake an archaeological evaluation of the site. One trench was excavated and a single large, deep feature was identified along most of the trench. A machined sondage revealed that it was c. 1.8m deep with a flat base. The feature appeared to been cut to create a level platform or terrace into the natural ground slope and had later been backfilled with deposits which reformed a slope. Artefacts contained in the lower deposits of the feature indicate that it was of 17thto 18th century date. A pit and post hole of modern period date were identified immediately west of the large terrace feature. |
