Abstract: |
An archaeological investigation, consisting of five evaluation trenches, was undertaken on the site of a disused council depot. In the northern corner of the site a single grave was recorded, containing the remains of three individuals. This burial was associated with a ditch and a pit which were dated by pottery to the 3rd century AD and appeared to be on the periphery of a larger cemetery. Medieval activity was contacted in the form of a substantial boundary ditch cutting through the marsh possibly to drain or reclaim land. Three rubbish pits were dated to the 12th or 13th centuries. Post-medieval activity was contacted in the form of a substantial boundary ditch which had been cut along the line of Moss Street during the 17th century. [Au(abr)] |
