Abstract: |
Four further trenches as part of a Watching Brief were opened following a two-trench evaluation earlier in 2016. In Trenches 3 and 4 a total of four post-medieval refuse pits were excavated which contained an assemblage of late 18th to mid 19th century domestic waste. In Trench 6 a large refuse pit was found to have cut two postholes. The pits and postholes were sealed by a buried garden soil and a small 'occupation' layer which appeared to be associated with the garden plots to the rear of the Church Street frontages. In Trench 5 a short section of poorly-built wall was recorded. Small quantities of residual material including several prehistoric flints and a pot sherd of the 12th-13th century suggested earlier activity on or around the site but these were residual objects in the garden soil. All features were sealed by a made ground layer of brick rubble put down in preparation of the modern, 20th century car park which now occupies the rear of the buildings. |
