Abstract:
Archaeological recording was carried out following the exposure of stones and cobbles during road and pavement stripping around the Victorian market cross within Glastonbury Market Place. The stones lay below the level of the new paving and were not to be disturbed by the works, so that no further excavation was required. In addition, the excavation of a nearby hole for tree planting was monitored. It was found that the stone settings related to the Victorian cross, representing the lowest plinth surrounding it and part of its stone slab foundation, and bore no relation to the layout of the medieval cross. Within the tree hole, a layer of stone rubble and a deposit of broken stone roof tiles were recorded. These were interpreted as originating from building demolition, possibly from the medieval market cross. A sherd of medieval pottery was recovered, and a linear feature which was probably a drain or culvert was observed. The absence of residual medieval and early post-medieval finds around the present market cross suggested that the remains of the medieval covered market cross lay below the recorded levels. [AIP]
