Abstract:

An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site. A Roman road passed nearby, and burials of this date had been recorded in the area. The site had lain within open ground in the medieval and early post-medieval periods, but the surrounding area had been built on by 1676, and the site itself had become densely occupied by the beginning of the 18th century. During the evaluation, a stream which had probably been infilled by the 17th century was recorded in the northern part of the site. This appeared to have been a western tributary of the River Fleet. Several Bellarmine jugs were recovered from the uppermost fill, along with clay pipes and the partial skeletons of two dogs. The stream had been consolidated prior to urbanisation of the area in the 18th century. A truncated wall foundation, probably of this date, was recorded. In the south-eastern area of the site, a broadly contemporary infilled pond was located. It was concluded that the evaluation had produced important evidence as to the natural topography of the area, which could be related to documentary sources from the late 17th century onwards. A watching brief was subsequently undertaken. [Au(adp)]
