Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in advance of the residential redevelopment of the site. The site was situated south of the medieval town. Historical research revealed that the area comprised largely open ground during the 19th century, with a row of terraced houses set back from the street frontage. 14 trial trenches were excavated. These revealed that the site contained very few archaeological remains, but an alignment of medieval ditches was present, running parallel to Lake Street. These were interpreted as medieval boundary or drainage ditches. [Au(adp)] |
