Abstract: |
Between 28th of November 2011 and January 9th 2012 an archaeological watching brief was conducted during groundworks associated with the South Bank Improvement Scheme along a section of Cathedral Street and Clink Street. The works fell within the area of the Scheduled Ancient Monument of Winchester Palace, Clink Street and Waterfront, (L028), and so it was deemed necessary for archaeological monitoring of any excavations. During the groundworks programme archaeological deposits associated with the later development and history of the surrounding area were observed, including 18th century demolition spreads, a 19th century cesspit, and a Victorian sewer. Most interestingly however, was the exposure of an earlier street surface along Clink Street, covered in a thick layer of burnt ashy material, probably associated with a devastating fire which took place in 1814. |
