Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
An archaeological evaluation revealed occupation of the site from the Roman period onwards, in four main phases of activity. A Roman cobbled surface was found adjacent to the (presumed) line of a Roman road (the modern A38). This was succeeded by medieval domestic occupation from the twelfth century, through to the fifteenth century. The north part of the site had well developed occupation layers, possibly forming the back of a plot fronting the High Street. Domestic and butchery refuse dating to between the eleventh and thirteenth century, and waste from horn working, evinced the processing of animals and animal by-products. The medieval artefacts included an unusual roof finial in the form of a horse and rider. In the early-post-medieval period the site was terraced. A system of water supply using underground culverts fell into disuse. In the late-seventeenth or early-eighteenth century cobbled yards were constructed. Includes: | |||||||||||||||||
