| Abstract: |
Results from 1971-7 excavations are brought together with related material not previously published. For the post-Roman period there are two sunken huts, one built against a derelict Roman house, and some AS cemetery material. (Some late Roman military equipment is also discussed.) Evidence of late 8th and 9th centuries is rare. Historical evidence relating to Castle and Abbey is reviewed, and a small church was found to predate St John's Abbey. A typology of 10th to 12th century pottery is outined, four periods of pre-12th century planning are identified, and seven buildings made from reused RB stone noted. The plan of the Castle Keep is discussed. |
