Abstract: |
Excavation of two areas identified six phases of medieval activity, mostly dating to the early and high medieval periods. In Area 1 activity relating to the backs of plots fronting onto Ferrars Road was recorded along with a series of boundary ditches parallel to Dryden's Walk. Area 2 contained a dense concentration of post holes and pits representing the south-western extent of buildings extending off Ermine Street, in addition to pits containing domestic and industrial processing waste and cesspits. During the post-medieval period there was little activity and the site presumably reverted to agricultural use, with limited disturbance associated with the Edison Bell factory due to the presence of a thick subsoil. |
