Abstract: |
The assessment and the archaeological evaluation identified that Newport House was constructed sometime in the mid to late 18th century. There was no evidence to suggest that there was an earlier building within the area investigated. The presence of 15th/16th and early 18th century material may have been from the residual spreading of material onto the gardens of the earlier dwellings along Newport Street. The quarry/graveyard that occupied the southern part of the site contained human remains. The date of use for the quarry was probably around the late 18th century, as the quarry was used as a graveyard from around the late 18th to 19th century. In addition, it was a possibility that Palaeolithic material could be found within the fissures and cave systems in the area. [Au(adp)] |
