Abstract: |
Archaeology South East (ASE) conducted an archaeological evaluation of land at Vicarage Street, Luton for CgMs on behalf of their client during October 2008. Five trial trenches were excavated to a cumulative length of 30m. The natural geology was encountered mostly at c. 1.20m beneath the current ground level ranging from 103.17mOD to 103.82m OD. The medieval deposits and features of possible 13th -14th century date were recorded in trenches A2, A3 and A4 with overlying late post-medieval deposits and structures. Although the function of the ditches is not apparent and no structural remains were found in situ, the linear features could relate to the castle which briefly occupied the site in the 1220s. The finds of burnt daub indicate the presence of timber-framed buildings in the near vicinity, and possibly represent the internal buildings of the castle. |
