Abstract: |
Boreholes and trial holes for site investigation preliminary to further work were excavated in the Central Parks. Work was carried out in five parks: Watts (West); Andrews (East); Palmerston; Houndwell and Hoglands. Several different layers were discovered, most dating to the post-medieval and modern periods, others were of uncertain date. Sherds of Roman pottery were recovered from two of the uncertain layers in Houndwell Park, but they may have been residual. No archaeological features were noted. [Au(adp)] |
