Abstract: |
The evaluation comprised the machine excavation of three trenches, these trenches being positioned within an Area of Archaeological Sensitivity, as specified within the brief. . Within the northern corner of the site a series of post holes denoting the layout of a possible medieval structure, and a pit were uncovered . it is therefore likely that these remains are from occupation of the site following either the construction of the motte and bailey castle by Ernulf de Hesdin after the Norman Conquest, or the acquisition of the manor by the Abbey of Bec after 1097, and the replacement of the castle with a religious house on the site. The moat and leat were not found during the investigations. Within the eastern corner of the site the brick foundations of a 17th century building''s exterior wall were uncovered. The foundations were heavily truncated by a 20th century concreted storage tank to the northwest and by Bury Street itself to the northeast. Two Roman artefacts were found in later features, indicating the presence of a Roman building in the vicinity. |
