Abstract:		 The archaeological evaluation involved the excavation of three small trenches, 3.12m x 1m, 2.35m x 1m, and 2m x 2m, each excavated to a depth of 1.25m or deeper, and the observation of seven window sampling boreholes, excavated by building contractors. The archaeological work followed on from an earlier watching brief in 2002 and excavations on the site in 1957-58 by Peter Wenham. The boreholes indicated that 5.0m-5.5m of stratified deposits survived at the site; the lower 1m related to the Roman period and included structural remnants. A significant depth of archaeological remains related to the medieval period, and was known to include structures as well as deposits more typical of backyard areas. Plentiful finds of mould fragments and slag attested to metalworking at the site during this period and leather offcuts also suggested the possibility of cobbling. Post-medieval and modern deposits composed the uppermost deposits at the site and again related to structures as well as pits and dumping. Anglo-Scandinavian activity was suggested by pottery assemblages and waterlogged deposits led to the preservation of organic remains. [Au(adp)]
