Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken as part of an application for planning consent for the redevelopment of the site. The evaluation consisted of the archaeological observation of engineering test pits. Thirteen, of 22, revealed archaeological deposition. Redeposited brickearth and gravel was recorded across the length and breadth of the site. Alluvial type deposits were limited to an area of the site to the west of the north-south centre line of the site. A probable pitfill was located along this line. This alignment was known to be the position of the Western Stream, therefore the fills of the stream, dating to before the construction of the 14th century King's Wardrobe, had survived on the site. Chalk foundations recorded in one test pit probably represented part of the structure of the Kings Wardrobe. The remaining external soils and probable pitfills were evidence for pre-Great Fire activities, which may have been medieval, and were unlikely to be of Roman date. [Au(adp)] |
