| Abstract: |
Two trenches were excavated to evaluate the site proposed for the building of a new visitors centre in the grounds of the minster chambers. The first trench revealed two pits for the disposal of structural debris, perhaps from the work on the chantry priests house. The pits had been cut into medieval grave earth which contained early medieval pottery and the remains of eight in situ burials. The pits contained medieval and post-medieval window glass, lead, nails and pottery and an early post-medieval/medieval gold ring. The larger of the pits had also cut into a deposit containing Roman roof tile and burnt bone. Saxo-Norman pottery was recovered during the excavation of the second trench. [AIP] |
