Abstract: |
Excavations followed on from an evaluation of the site. Evidence was provided for activity at the site in the Late Saxon period in the form of linear ditch features running parallel with the street front. Occupation intensified during the later medieval period when a building was constructed on the street front over one of the earlier ditches. The full extent of the building was not determined, but it probably survived for two to three hundred years. The excavation provided evidence for narrowing of the street as successive phases of boundary and then construction encroached on the road. It also confirmed that the alignment of the street had been unaltered since at least the 10th century, suggesting that Raingate Street was part of the original planned town layout. [Au] |
