Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out on the site. Deposits were encountered from the Roman and Medieval period, with the earliest feature being an Iron Age/Roman pit containing timber work. The pit was possibly used as a brine storage tank. A medieval layer containing industrial waste material was identified. A cobbled surface partially spread across the site dating form the late medieval phase of the site. Structure and deposits belonging to the 18th century saltworks that were on the site were also noted. [Au(abr)] |
