| Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out within the south-western corner of a development site, an area which had not been covered during an earlier evaluation. 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. The evaluation had revealed a stream which had probably been infilled in the 17th century, a pond and a wall foundation of probable 18th century date. Several Bellarmine jugs, clay pipes and two dog skeletons had been recovered from the uppermost fill of the stream. During the watching brief, waterlain silts were noted which indicated another in what may have been a series of ponds or flooded quarry pits around the stream, although this could not be closely investigated because of unstable conditions. Several disarticulated human bones were also recovered. These had clearly been redeposited from elsewhere, and appeared to have been reburied during building work, probably in the 19th century.
