Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology were commissioned to undertake an archaeological watching brief during geo-technical work and subsequent construction works of an extension to the existing Canon Street Car Park, Taunton, Somerset. The watching brief was undertaken during the works which lay within the known location of the former medieval town defences for Taunton, known as the Borough Bank, which is a Scheduled Monument (SM No. SM33705, HA 1019401). The watching brief was required as a condition of the Scheduled Monument Consent. No evidence was observed for the medieval Borough ditch, which forms part of the Scheduled Monument, or any other deposits or features of medieval date during the shallow groundworks. However, beneath modern made ground, archaeological deposits which likely represent buried topsoil or levelling layers of post-medieval date were identified. |
