Abstract: |
The archaeological investigation established that the site has undergone extensive ground reduction, with the original land surface having been almost entirely removed in preparation for the construction of the 1970s shopping centre. In situ topsoil and subsoil deposits were entirely absent and in some areas the sand and gravel substrate appears to have been truncated. The only remains of the original land surface were pockets of redeposited dark soil located in two areas of the site. The only feature identified within the site was a modern rubbish pit, largely filled with broken roof tiles and a glass bottle bearing the stamp 'R. M. Bird and Co, Stratford-on-Avon', a local wine merchant in business in the town around 1900. Reference to historic maps shows that the pit was located to the rear of a former public house, The Plymouth Arms, which fronted on to Wood Street. |
