Abstract: |
A program of archaeological evaluation was required to be undertaken in advance of the construction of a single garage on land adjacent to 26 Bridewell Street, Clare (planning application DC/15/22670/HH). The property sits on the northern edge of Clare Camp, a Scheduled Monument (NHLE1006046) apparently used as the site of the manorial compound for the Manor of Clare between the late 13th and mid-16th centuries. Previous archaeological works nearby had suggested the presence of an outer ditch which was thought to have passed just to the north of the present building, with the possibility that the new garage would encounter that ditch. No cut features of archaeological interest were found within the evaluation area, although the edge of the cut for Sheepgate Lane appears just on the northern edge of the area. It is possible that Sheepgate Lane occupies the position of an outer ditch for the earthwork, as it is a sunken lane at this point. |
