Abstract: |
A field evaluation consisting of seven trenches was carried out in respect of a planning application for residential development of the site. The natural substrate, an orange yellow clay was observed in six of the trenches. On trenches one to four on the west side of the site fronting May Lane, an undated layer was recorded above the clay sealed in turn by a layer of cultivation soil dated by associated pottery to the 17th/18th centuries. Constructed within this deposit was a limestone stone wall aligned perpendicular to the May Lane Street frontage. At the rear of the site, three trenches were excavated, each producing the same stratigraphic sequence. One of these revealed a heavy cobbled surface probably built for industrial use; this was overlain by a layer of associated occupation debris containing clay pipe fragments indicating usage during the post-medieval period.
