Abstract: |
A hand dug 2m x 2m test pit was dug within 2m of Fisherton street The most significant individual feature revealed in the evaluation was the post-medieval brick surface (104), which appears to have been preserved in situ in the area of the trench. It probably represents an open yard or path area within the front garden plots of the original almshouses.
The level at which natural substrate was encountered (45.08m OD) was significantly higher than that of the present day road surface, implying that the present road is at a level lower than that in the medieval period and revealing the possibility that medieval features and deposits could be preserved beneath the post medieval build up. |
