| Abstract: |
Nine trial trenches (1.3m by 0.8m, 1.85m by 0.9m, 1.8m by 0.85m, 1.9m by 0.7m, 1.7m by 0.75m, 1.9m by 0.95m, 1.1m by 0.7m, 1.6m by 1m and 1m by 2m) were excavated as an archaeological evaluation prior to the proposed redevelopment of the site. Trenches 1 and 4 showed evidence for the survival of features and deposits of probable Saxon date and strongly correlated with horizons of similer deposits in an earlier borehole survey and evaluation and suggested the probable survival of Saxon features and horizons in areas to the south-east and north-west of the site. An area within the existing building showed evidence for the survival of possible late medieval and early post-medieval deposits and horizons, including the remnants of a possible domestic hearth associated with a now demolished extension to the 15th century buildings along the East Lane and High Street frontage. Later post-medieval and early modern structures and activity were encountered in trenches 5, 6 and 7. Trench 7 suggested that the area enclosed by the office buildings in the north-eastern corner of the site had been basemented and that therefore any earlier archaeological features would have not survived. The report concluded that three areas were identified by a combination of two archaeological evaluations and borehole investigation, where late post-medieval and modern construction basements and other activities had truncated the earlier Saxon and late medieval/early post-medieval horizons. These were located in the north-east, south-west and south-east corners of the site. [Au(adp)] |
