Abstract: |
Excavation followed by monitoring and recording was undertaken in advance of, and during, the redevelopment of the site. This revealed stratified deposits principally of Roman and medieval date. The earliest evidence comprised 2nd century pits, and some of this ephemeral activity may have had late 1st century origins. 15 graves belonging to the known, late Roman cemetery were recorded and three could be dated to the latter half of the 4th century AD. Further evidence of the cemetery boundary ditch was recorded. Boundary features and eight of the previously known cross-shaped pits associated with the Dominical Friary were recorded. The most likely interpretation of the pits was that they comprised part of formal gardens established in the late medieval period. [Au(adp)] |
