Abstract: |
A borehole evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site, which had been the subject of earlier proposals for which planning permission had been granted. Within some parts of the site, the proposed new scheme would have a potential archaeological impact different from that of the previous scheme. During construction of the present building in 1954, a watching brief and limited excavation had recorded the complex remains of multi-period occupation. Field evaluation undertaken in connection with the previous development proposals, in 1996, had confirmed and clarified the earlier findings. The remains of Roman buildings and associated structures dating from the mid 1st to at least the late 2nd century AD, medieval pits, cellars and wells and post-medieval deposits had been recorded. Part of the ground plan of a medieval church had also been established, in 1954. Some of the boreholes of the 1997-98 evaluation indicated the survival of archaeological deposits, which were thought to have represented the fills of Roman or medieval pits cut into the natural sands and gravels.
