| Abstract: |
The deeper excavations for the access road and the drainage trenches may have impacted on Roman deposits at the west end of the area adjacent to South Street. However, in this area deposits may have been truncated or removed by later buildings or cellars. Excavations were unlikely to disturb Roman deposits elsewhere, except possibly at the end of the southern arm of the road adjacent to Nos 3'“5 Cathedral Yard. The drainage trenches were likely to impact on the following medieval and post-medieval deposits: archaeological deposits and the remains of buildings at the west end of the road were recorded as well as articulated skeletons and charnel soil at the end of the southern arm of the development area. Buried soils, surfaces, culverts or other features at the east end of the road were noted. Reduction of existing levels for the road was unlikely to disturb articulated skeletons. It may have impacted on medieval or post-medieval deposits or features at the east end outside of the former burial ground. The work would disturb post-medieval charnel soil in the area of the former burial ground to the north and west of the war memorial. Excavation for the hard landscaping was projected to impact on medieval or post-medieval deposits at the west end of the area where there were buildings, and also in Broadgate and further east along the north edge of the road. Post-medieval charnel soil in the area of the former burial ground around the war memorial was likely to have been affected, but the development was unlikely to disturb articulated skeletons. [Au] |
