| Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a site which was considered to have potential for archaeological remains relating to a Romano-British settlement, the medieval hamlet of Osmundsthorpe, the cemetery and buildings of a medieval and later hospital, and a Civil War earthwork. Possible old river channels were also anticipated, and buildings relating to a former brewery lay within the site. During the evaluation, numerous Roman features were recorded, including ditches, pits, post-holes, a wall fragment, a structure interpreted as a corn drier and a probable cobbled surface. Medieval features included ditches and a mortar and stone floor, whilst a possible kiln was also tentatively assigned to the medieval period. Artefacts included large quantities of Roman pottery, 12th-15th century pottery, and sherds of Anglo-Saxon and post-medieval date. Roman activity was recorded in all but one of the trenches excavated, indicating extensive occupation or other activity throughout most of the development site. Medieval activity appeared to have been focused on the North Gate frontage. No clear traces of the Civil War earthwork or the medieval hospital cemetery or buildings were found. Evidence of a former river channel was identified which tended to confirm the suggestion that a former line of the river bank had been preserved in a field boundary of 1846. The standing buildings on the brewery site were also examined as part of the evaluation, and some further recording of these was recommended. [AIP] |
