Abstract: |
A 1.5m by 1.5m test pit was excavated by hand within the proposed development area. Features (104) and (105) were clearly associated. In the absence of further investigation it remains unclear if they represent the remains of a wall with an associated rubble deposit or an area of hard-standing delimited by a kerb. Features (104) and (105) are at present undated. However, they were directly overlaid by a Post-medieval layer, which contained frequent unabraded Medieval artefacts. In light of the complete absence of Roman artefactual material from within the trench, it is more likely that features (104) and (105) date to the Medieval period and represent Medieval structural activity in this part of the town.
A small well preserved finds assemblage was recovered from layer (103). This comprised 18 sherds of Medieval pottery consisting of 17 sherds of Minety (North Wiltshire/South Cotswolds) ware and a single sherd of Brill Boarstall ware. Three sherds of Red Glazed Earthenware probably originating from the Ashton Keynes kilns were also recovered from this layer. The Medieval pottery has a date range of mid 12th-mid 14th century, while the Red Glazed Earthenware dates between the 17th and early 19th century. |
