Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment was carried out, and revealed no positive evidence of archaeological deposits although topographic and cartographic evidence as well as information from nearby sites suggested the possibility of surviving pre-medieval archaeological deposits in the western and central parts of the site. Documentary evidence suggested that the land was used as open fields since the 15th century until the construction of the barracks in 1878. A substantial archive survived relating to the barracks, although only the walls and the keep survived, as Listed buildings. An egg-shaped bed that could still be seen may have related back to a pre-19th century field name and could have been indicative of archaeological deposits in this area. [Au(adp)] |
