Abstract: |
Excavation and salvage recording were undertaken in advance of redevelopment of a site for housing and leisure use which lay within an area containing part of a cemetery, suggested to have been in use between 550 - 650 AD, serving an Anglian settlement. The excavations revealed over 100 skeletons and indicated that the eastern boundary of the cemetery probably lay immediately to the west of White Cross Street. Approximately 60% of the burials were accompanied by grave-goods; many of those without grave-goods were burials disturbed by later features. Pre-cemetery features identified included a ditch, which had been re-cut at least twice, aligned parallel to White Cross Street, with the fill of one of the re-cuts containing a cremation urn of probable Anglian form, although of similar coarse fabric to local Iron Age wares. A casual inhumation had also been cut into one of the later ditch alignments. Residual fragments of worked non-local flint and Romano-British pottery were also recovered. Post-cemetery features identified included a number of linear features of probable 8th - 10th century date, a small number of shallow pit bases of medieval date, and a lime-kiln. [AIP] |
