| Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken during the conversion of the Haward Chapel to a nightclub. A series of large rubbish/cesspits were identified towards the southern extremity of the site in an area which had previously been the basement of the chapel school. St Neots ware pottery dating to the 11th or 12th centuries and a few animal bones were recovered from within the fills of these pits. A single burial was also located when a footing trench (1.8m deep) was excavated towards the northern end of the chapel, in the area of the 19th century extension to the front of the chapel. No evidence of structures earlier than the 18th century chapel were discovered, possibly indicating that the area behind Mill Street was open ground during the medieval period. [Au(abr)] |
