Abstract: |
To the north of the site was an alluvial deposit from which two struck flints were recovered. In the base of test pit 111 an undated ditch cut was observed truncating the alluvial deposit at a depth of 1.2m. In test pit 113 a layer of mortar and chalk covered the base of the test pit and appeared to be a surface. In the section, red brick was laid on top of this layer and this was covered by a layer of tile that suggested this to have been the remains of a structure of mid-18th century date. This possible floor was seen at a depth of 1.10m below ground level. A series of possible later gravel floors and occupation surfaces was revealed covering a demolition later. There was a large amount of post-medieval deposits in all the test pits in the form of made ground. No structures associated with the priory were revealed although early post-medieval bricks which may have originally come from the complex were found to be reused in a later structure. [Au(abr)] |
