| Abstract: |
A watching brief and hand excavation of archaeological features and deposits were undertaken at a development site, which lay on the site of the mid-13th century priory church of the Friar Hermits of St Augustine of Hippo. Part of the site lay within a Conservation Area. Previous evaluations and watching briefs had recorded evidence of Roman activity at the site, as well as foundations relating to the church. During the present investigations, intercutting Roman gravel pits backfilled with domestic refuse, and pottery dating from 140-160 AD were recorded. Residual 3rd and 4th century pottery was also found. Large-scale dumping and a series of medieval rubbish/cess pits were seen to have pre-dated the construction of the priory. Elements of the priory church in the form of chalk rubble wall foundations were encountered which confirmed the foundation date of the priory and at least one other phase of reconstruction, in the mid-14th century. Post-medieval demolition deposits relating to the destruction of the priory were observed, and a struck flint flake, presumably of prehistoric date, was recovered from a post-medieval context.
