| Abstract: |
Excavations on the eastern part of the site adjacent to the railway tracks had revealed an unexpected level of survival of archaeological deposits. A large number of brick cellars, cesspits, wells, drains, hearths, floors and walls dating from the AD 16th to 20th centuries were excavated. These were generally intercutting or overlying large areas of dumped post-medieval, medieval and Roman material or natural brickearth. A substantial medieval ditch running from east to west across the site was superseded by construction of a large vaulted drain. These features were identified as probably being the continuation of the St Mary Spital Priory Great Drain, and earlier ditch. Six Roman inhumation burials, associated with two structures (tentatively identified as mausoleums) were excavated. Other Roman features included a complex sequence of consolidation layers, pits and a well. Provisionally dating to the late 3rd century AD were a series of intercutting Roman ditches running north-south over the site. [Au(abr)] |
