Abstract: |
The excavation of three test pits was carried out in response to a planning condition. A test pit revealed a substantial sequence of dump layers, dating to the final years of the 17th century, tipping down from south to north into what was probably the former moat (constructed c.1515-17). Structures relating to the sides of the moat were not located in either test pit 1 or 2. The infill of the moat was sealed by a cobbled surface, now some 0.3m below the modern tarmac surface of Tennis Court Lane. Test pit 3 revealed the truncated remains of the central wall of the late 17th century Kitchen Gardens and a concrete floor slab with associated brickwork, approached by a number of salt-glazed sewage pipes set at regular intervals. These structures had been demolished and their below ground elements partially truncated, presumably in 1935 when the current car park was installed. [Au(abr)] |
