Abstract: |
In November and December 2006 Northamptonshire Archaeology undertook an archaeological excavation of Coventry's medieval town ditch as part of the archaeological mitigation strategy for the city's Belgrade Plaza development. As a result of the excavation a nine metre- long stretch of the ditch was exposed and a hand-dug section revealed its depth to be c 2.3m. The remains of a collapsed fence were present beneath the fills of the ditch and a modest quantity of medieval and early post-medieval pottery was recovered along with a number of leather shoe fragments. The results of the fieldwork augment those of the Belgrade Plaza excavations of 2005 which took place to the south of the present study area. |
