Abstract:		 This evaluation trench produced evidence of intensive medieval and Post-medieval occupation. Natural geology was encountered at a height of 1.46m OD, a depth of 2.21m below modern ground level. This depth was made-up of garden soils, building debris and possible floor surfaces. The earliest deposit encountered, a garden soil, possibly filling 1-2 pits, was dated to the 12th-13th centuries, but contained a large proportion of Late Saxon/Saxo-Norman pottery, suggesting occupation of this period in the immediate vicinity. This was followed, probably in the 15th century, by a build-up of possible clay floor surfaces, levelling deposits of mortar-rich material and the construction of a major east to west aligned wall. There was a paucity of pottery dated to the 13th and 14th centuries. A similar drop in cultural material was noted in excavations at the corner of Magdalen Street and Cowgate in 1974. This was interpreted as due to the area being incorporated into the precinct of St Paul's Hospital (commonly known as Norman's Hospital). Possibly in the16th century this wall was demolished and a large amount of gardensoil was imported. It is likely that similar remains survive beneath the whole of proposed development area. In addition it is possible that due to the amount of Late Saxon/ Saxo-Norman material found, remains of that early date may survive elsewhere in the development area.
