Abstract: |
Prior to the submission of a planning application for a residential development an archaeological evaluation was carried out to assess its likely archaeological impact. Two trial trenches were excavated within the footprint of the proposed buildings. In addition the excavation of test pits was monitored. Evidence was recorded in both trenches for cellars, rooms and passages associated with buildings fronting onto Fore Street. These were dated from bricks as late 17th to 19th century in date. One earlier wall was recorded (?16th century) and interpreted as the possible continuation of a quay wall, previously identified in an excavation of 1989. The wall appeared to have continued in existence as a boundary and been incorporated into later structures. Various layers formed by natural accretion and deliberate dumping of material between the 7th and 17th centuries were also recorded. [Au(abr)] |
