Abstract: |
In August 2007 an archaeological evaluation was undertaken on behalf of William Morrison Supermarkets PLC, in advance of proposals for the construction of a new supermarket. The work represents the third stage of evaluation under the footprint of the former Market Hall.A single evaluation trench and 5 test pits were excavated in the area. The results of the evaluation revealed a series of Post-medieval deposits. The depth of material suggested a period of substantial infilling of large features that may relate to clay pits associated with the localised pottery industry. Above this material structural remains of the 19th century housing stock were discovered along the Camp Street frontage with associated wells and brick lined cess pits to the rear. |
