Abstract: |
The desk-based assessment discovered that the zone surrounding the study area contained evidence of activity dating from the Palaeolithic period. The study area probably lay within a Late Saxon settlement, defined by an encircling ditch. Evidence of timber-framed buildings, rubbish pits and other features within the settlement, had previously been uncovered in the vicinity of the study area. Cambridge Street, one of the four main medieval streets in the town, was probably laid out in the 12th-13th century. In the post-medieval period, the western part of the study area formed part of the grounds of Hall Place, a 17th-18th century mansion. More recently, much of the study area was used for market gardening. [Au(adp)] |
