Abstract: |
The watching brief was undertaken during groundworks relating to the demolition of the buildings. The only evidence for prehistoric activity consisted of a possible Palaeolithic single large waste flake found redeposited in the natural gravels. The earliest features were a series of gullies, related to land divisions in the Roman period. One of the ditches was recut at some point after AD117. This may have been a track parallel to the nearby Watling Street, or an external yard surface. A single undated refuse pit, containing large quantities of animal bone, cut this surface. In the 17th century the construction of a large brick sewer and fragments of two brick buildings, surrounded by gardens and yards indicated suburban housing development in the area. Au(abr)] |
