Abstract:		 An evaluation was carried out within the Market Place in Newark, in order to determine the archaeological implications of proposed resurfacing and service improvements. A bowl of Anglo-Saxon date had reputedly been found within the market place during the relaying of cobblestones, and archaeological investigations within the site in 1965 had identified three surfaces, dating from the 13th century, the 16th-17th century and more recently. Work in 1994 had also revealed earlier stone surfaces. Remains relating to Roman-British occupation had been found 700m to the north, and earthworks and defences relating to the English Civil War were known to have lain close to the town. During the evaluation, reinforced concrete rafts were revealed beneath the present market surface, beneath which were compact layers of gravel and stone which probably represented the remains of previous market surfaces, although these were undated. At least one of the stones had been roughly dressed, and probably derived from an earlier structure in the area, perhaps the Market Cross. Gullies of 18th-19th century date, possibly robbed service or foundation trenches, cut through the stone surface. Fragments of probable 18th century pottery were the earliest datble artefacts recovered. [AIP]
