| Abstract: |
A small scale archaeological evaluation was undertaken prior to redevelopment of the site. The evaluation produced evidence of post-medieval development comprising a cobbled yard, drains and walls probably dating to the early or mid 17th century. Ephemeral evidence of earlier activity was demonstrated only by the presence of late medieval pottery sherds as flooding prevented excavation below the level of the cobbles. As much of the site was to be made over to car parking, any surviving early archaeology was likely to have been preserved in situ, however, deeper excavations for a new construction on the frontage of Meadow Street in an area which was at the time, untestable, may have produced evidence of earlier activity and it was recommended that as such, this area be subject of a further archaeological watching brief.
