Abstract: |
University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land at Cliff Road/Canal Street (Narrow Marsh), Nottingham, (SK 5649 4149) from the 20th February to 9th March 2017. Trenches were excavated to evaluate an area for a proposed construction of College Hub on derelict land. The evaluation established the presence of possible buried medieval and post-medieval deposits close to the water table in most of the trenches. The deposits consisted of clay lined pits and layers that contained cattle horn cores, which were thought to be associated with tanneries. Other trenches revealed early post medieval deposits that may have been related to backyard activities associated with properties that once fronted on to Cliff Road. All these horizons were sealed under what were very deep post-medieval garden soils. Overlying the garden soils was a substantial modern overburden which included 19th century cellars, wells and culverts. The site archive will be held by Nottingham City Museums and Galleries under accession number NCMG 2017-28. |
