Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out within three of four areas of a proposed redevelopment site. The medieval city wall ran through the site, and Roman and medieval remains had been recorded. Three of five recommended test-pits were excavated during the evaluation, and evidence of a medieval ditch was obtained. This contained large quantities of the Roman flooring material opus signinum, implying the proximity of a high status building. Foundations for the central bastion of the medieval city wall extension were located. A trial bore within one test-pit recorded the sequence of deposits in Area 1. It was concluded that the excavation of the remaining two test-pits would be essential to the assessment of truncation within Area 1. [AIP] |
