| Abstract: |
The archaeological excavation identified the earliest phase of activity on the site. This was represented by the construction of the borough defences in the 12th century. The town ditch appeared to have been re-cut sometime in the 14th/15th century when there was also evidence for a post built structure on the site. By the time of the Civil War the partially infilled ditch was used as a secondary defensive line. Fatalities from the fighting were dumped into the ditch and quickly covered over. Later phases of activity included the burial of a horse in the 16th/17th century, a pit, post-holes and gullies dating to the 17th to 19th centuries. [Au(abr)] |
