Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during construction work for the residential development of the site and was required as a condition upon planning permission. A 'ploughsoil' or subsoil of reworked brickearth, probably Roman in date, overlay natural brickearth. A north-west - south-east ditch and two brickearth quarry pits were probably medieval in date and were situated within the outer precinct of the medieval Priory and Hospital of St Mary. A smaller pit and a possible garden bedding trench may have been late medieval or post-medieval. At least one and probably two gravel and brickearth quarry pits had been dug in the post-medieval Artillery Ground. Two 17th/18th century walls were observed, presumably serving properties in Steward Street. These were covered by 18th century cellars of properties on the newly laid out Brishfield Street. Archaeological strata was preserved in situ under about half of the site area. [Au(adp)] |
