Abstract: |
An excavation was undertaken prior to the redevelopment of the site. All areas not included in the excavation that were subject to redevelopment were recorded as part of a watching brief. No prehistoric features were recorded during the excavation. The presence of struck flint, including one piece dating to the Mesolithic period, suggested that there was prehistoric activity in the area, but it was not clear how far these residual finds had travelled, and therefore uncertain how close this site was to any settlement. A few residual Roman tile fragments were recovered from some of the post-medieval features on the site. It was reasonable to assume that if there had been Roman settlement in the vicinity of the site, then greater quantities of Roman finds would have been recovered. There was no evidence to suggest that Guildford Street was Roman in origin. A number of medieval features were recorded during the excavation, although far fewer features were conclusively medieval than had been expected. Most of the features recorded during the excavation were post-medieval in date. Whilst some of the recorded features were 18th or 19th century, the majority were 15th and 16th century and showed that the site had been in use through the late medieval period onwards. [Au(adp)] |
