Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The work at Oram's Arbour in 1967 marked a considerable advance in understanding the earliest growth of Winchester, and Belgic discoveries on Cathedral Green at last indicate really substantial pre-Roman occupation. Pre-Flavian deposits at Wolvesey, taken with earlier finds, show the considerable extent of the early Roman town, which lay in the valley bottom and on the lower slopes of the western hill. The structural sequence of the Old Minster has now been established, and the layout of the 10th cent cathedral completed by the discovery of a western atrium centred on St Swithun's tomb. Excavations in Lower Brook Street have traced the development of four houses and the church of St Mary back to late 13th/early 14th cent, and have revealed the plan of a row of nearly identical timber and clay cottages, which look like a speculative investment in lower-class housing. At Wolvesey, the main entrance of the Norman palace has been found, and various later alterations followed in detail. Excavation continues. Au(abr) | |||||||||||
