Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological works was conducted, including evaluation, monitoring and the examination of upstanding walls. A possible fish weir was identified and by its location, was assumed to have been constructed prior to any substantial buildings or land reclamation in the area. Four sherds of Roman pottery were recovered, some in the same deposits containing medieval pottery and were therefore presumed to be residual. The majority of the features identified appeared to date to the 13th and 15th centuries. These included evidence of the earliest phases of quay building. A post-medieval brick cellar was also recorded. Conservation work was required for wooden artefacts recovered and leather shoes. [Au(adp)] |
