| Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during ground reduction and other work at a site which was crossed by the City Wall, a Scheduled Ancient Monument. An evaluation had established that the wall itself had been removed from the site and partly replaced by a masonry wall; part of the external ditch, dug in c. 1600, survived. During the watching brief, fragments of Roman tile, stone and pottery were found. Part of the 17th century city ditch, a well and several earlier cess pits were recorded. Amorphous holes filled with 18th century building rubble were also present. Fragments of medieval roof tile and post-medieval tile and brick were recovered. An 18th century date for removal of the City Wall at this site was suggested. [AIP] |
