Abstract:		 Four evaluation trenches were excavated on a site between Davygate and Little Stonegate. Trench 1, near the Davygate street frontage revealed nothing but modern foundations and recent backfill. The absence of archaeological deposits at this location was believed to have been due to the presence of a 19th century cellar beneath a public house. Trench 2, situated in open ground to the rear of Little Stonegate produced a series of stratified deposits of 10th/11th to 15th/16th century dates. The earliest deposits were exposed in plan only and were cut by a large feature together with two post holes and a stake hole which also appeared to be 11th century in date. The majority of the deposits recorded in Trench 2 were believed to have built up within the backyard of a medieval property that once fronted onto Little Stonegate. Activity of this period was essentially characterised by sequences of pit cutting alternating with episodes of dumping. The 16th century date for the latest activity in Trench 2 suggested truncation of the uppermost parts of the archaeological sequence. Located close to the Little Stonegate frontage, Trench 3 revealed a complex series of stratified medieval deposits. The majority of these were of a structural nature; parts of two phases of building development, including walls and floors, were recognised. As in trench 2, it was clear that the latest archaeological deposits had been truncated. Trench 4 was located adjacent to Trench 3 and was excavated to the top of archaeological deposits only. [Au]
