Abstract: |
The archaeological evaluation, undertaken prior to proposed addition of new car park ramps, consisted of a trench 2.00 x 1.6m and 4.70m deep. Deposits were encountered at a height of c.2m OD and consisted of single feature, a roughly circular cut that contained small amounts of residual Roman material dating to probably the late 2nd century AD and large amounts of medieval ceramic building material with a date range of 1150-1500. The evaluation provided possible evidence of the earliest occupation in the Lower Thames Street area in the medieval period. It was concluded that further work would be required to understand more clearly the land use in the medieval period and the nature and date of the activity in this area, which may include undisturbed Roman deposits relating to the late 2nd century Roman foreshore.
