Abstract: |
Monitoring of excavations for replacement storm drains in the Cathedral Precinct Yard confirmed the depth of overburden sealing the medieval archaeological horizon in this area. Deeper excavations for a new manhole identified sealed medieval deposits at 1.4m below the existing ground level. This produced building flint, tile and the remains of food waste within a dark soil; natural subsoil was not encountered during the excavations, and the depth of deposit (greater than 2.1m), suggested that this was infilling a large pit or medieval cellar. |
