Abstract: |
The evaluation showed that both the canal and the medieval town ditch survived on the site, under a post-medieval layer that ranged in thickness between 0.8m and 1.1m over the site. It was possible to ascertain the line of the canal and, through window sampling, the western part of the ditch profile was identified. The excavation was also able to inform on the possibility of the survival of organic remains on site, with a high water content in all contexts, especially those below 1.17m OD. It was hoped that analysis of the finds would enable the stratigraphic sequence to be understood more readily. [Au(adp)] |
