| Abstract: |
An evaluation comrising the excavation of test-pits and the observation of geotechnical test-pits was carried out at a proposed development site. A partially-excavated feature was revealed which had been cut from the natural gravel. This contained thirty-nine sherds of 1st century Roman pottery, and probably represented a 1st century quarry pit. A chalk-lined cellar of presumed medieval date was found which had been destroyed, and replaced by a substantial but shallowly-founded north-south orientated wall of suggested 16th century date, which included re-used mouldings, possibly from the dissolved Priory of St Bartholomew's. This wall had in turn been cut through by an east-west masonry foundation. 19th cenutry fire debris was noted which had been cut through by a brick wall on shallow chalk foundations, which had formed the south-western corner of a building. To the west of these findings, deep inter-cutting cess pits of medieval/early post-medieval date were recorded. Medieval and post-medieval pottery, post-medieval clay pipe fragments and a piece of 18th century floor tile were recovered. [Au(adp)] |
