Abstract: |
An evaluation was undertaken prior to the proposed construction of sheltered housing. Previous excavations had revealed a sequence of settlement activity dating back to the 12th century. The evaluation revealed a number of ditches and quarry pits of medieval date, though the density of features did appear to be less than on the Phase 1 site. Although buildings (now demolished) were constructed on both the street frontages in the late 19th century, their foundations did not appear to have disturbed the archaeologically significant levels except on the High Street frontage, where a backfilled cellar was encountered.
