Abstract: |
Records excavations in advance of building activity close to the Abbey buildings, and also forty skeletons (including females) from the Martyrs' Bay site. Pollen was sampled from the Vallum ditch; there was a lime-burning clamp of ?early monastic date; a 12th century bake- and brewhouse over enigmatic timber structures; and animal bones from a midden. Sixteen 14C dates raise some problems, but the sequence runs from pre-8th century through burnt (?Viking) levels to a possibly 14th century burial. Difficulties of 'reconciling' archaeological and historical information are dilated on. |
