Abstract: |
Excavation prior to the construction of new flats and shops on the vacant site between Millbridge and No 3 Old Cross revealed that medieval and any Saxon deposits had been destroyed by 19th century cellaring, with only a thin layer of alluviuma and sparse features dating to the Romano-British period surviving below this period. A single ditch, aligned east/west, probably dating from the medieval period possibly represented a drain leading into the river. Alluvial deposits were present above and below the ditch supporting the interpretation of episodic flooding of the site. The presence of thick deposits of 'clean' alluvium below this level suggested that the pre-Roman river was part of a much wider channel, extending some distance to the west. [Au] |
