Abstract: |
Between August 2009 and January 2010, the Archaeology Service, Shropshire Council carried out a watching brief on groundworks associated with the redevelopment of The Music Hall, Shrewsbury as a museum and art gallery, a Tourist Information Centre, and café. The Music Hall site incorporates structural remains of Vaughan's Mansion, a medieval stone-built Hall dating to c1300. The watching brief monitored groundworks in the courtyards. It was seen that the ground level in the courtyards had been reduced in the modern periods down to the natural sandy subsoil. In places there was significant later 20th-century disturbance. A post-medieval or early modern pit cut into the natural sand was partially exposed in the central courtyard. No other significant deposits or features were seen in the course of the watching brief. |
