Abstract: |
Six trenches were monitored. Previous archaeological works were carried out in 1979-80 and can be found under the code CUT78. Natural deposits were not observed. The northern courtyard was characterised by extensive agricultural soil horizons containing pottery of 17th-century date. These were cut by a pit containing horn cores and 17/18th-century clay tobacco pipes and by two brick culverts, orientated east-west and north-south which were recorded in the eastern part of the courtyard. These were probably associated with the East India Company warehouses which were built on the site at the end of the 18th-century. In the southern courtyard, two of the three trenches excavated exposed modern remains. The third, in the south, revealed 18th-century soil horizons cut by a brick vaulted undercroft structure and part of a brick wall, possibly associated with the former 18th-century warehouses. Modern concrete sealed these remains. |
