Abstract: |
Three trenches were excavated on the line of proposed foundations and services in advance of an application for planning permission to erect an extension to the Castle House Hotel. A trench located at the south-west corner of the extension located features indicating two possible buildings, one pre-conquest, and one later, possibly overlaying the earlier building. A road was laid following the destruction of the structure; this had two phases, the first of which appeared to be pre-conquest in date. Two pits of 12th and 15th century date were identified in the trench and the earlier one was dug through the edge of the later road surface. A small trench excavated against the present building identified the heavily truncated base of a pre-conquest rubbish pit. The final trench appeared to uncover two post-medieval wells; they were both likely to have been timber lined and excavated was abandoned. [Au(adp)] |
