| Abstract: |
Trial trenches were placed in the Provost's garden in advance of a proposed new library building. The evaluation revealed a roughly constructed gravel surface and associated features dated to the Saxo-Norman period. One of the features, a large pit, contained fragments of slag indicative of metal working which possibly took place somewhere in the evaluation area. The remaining features consisted mostly of 13th and 14th century pits and included some evidence of later post-medieval pitting. The purpose of the pits was unclear, although it was suggested that gravel extraction connected with local building was very likely. One large pit seemed to have been connected with the construction of an Anderson shelter in 1939. [Au] |
