Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during groundworks associated with the demolition of a redundant workshop and erection of two dwellings at 4-5 Angel Yard, Marlborough, Wiltshire. An undated ditch was observed which possibly formed a boundary within the burgage plot. In addition three undated pits were recorded. Two of the pits probably extended beyond the plot of 5 Angel Yard and as such are interpreted as being earlier than the present houses, which were erected in the late 19th or early 20th century. Both of these pits could have been associated with the plot's possible previous use as a tannery. The third pit appears to be modern in date. A possible well identified in the southern area of the site could also relate to the tannery. Various levelling/make up layers, dating to the post-medieval period were observed and it seems likely that the present ground level is at least 0.5m higher than in the medieval period. A brick lined pit, with modern cement and bricks, was probably constructed during the sites former use as a workshop. |
