Abstract: |
The excavation of several cable trenches was archaeologically monitored. They provided a brief glimpse of the deposits beneath the thoroughfares associated with the medieval town centre. The only surviving archaeology to be observed appeared to have been post-medieval in date and was situated outside the public toilets in Castle Yard. Here, several ditches containing 18th and 19th century material, possibly indicating the latest backfilling of features either associated with the moat or burgage plots close to the eastern side of the moat were identified. A possible pit in Cheapside was unfortunately undated. Other deposits recorded appeared to be 19th century in date associated with the upper portion of Brewerton Street, including the remains of a brick wall and a cement floor, possibly associated with an outbuilding prior to the street's construction in the 19th century.
