Abstract: |
In January 2009 ASC carried out a programme of evaluation trenching on the site of the Cattle Market, Winslow, to assess its archaeological potential prior to redevelopment. Seven trenches were opened across the site, principally within the footprint of the proposed buildings. Archaeology was observed in four of the trenches. A single, undated post hole was present in each of Trenches 1 and 7, two undated linears, probably gullies, were revealed in Trench 5, and the remains of a wooden, Victorian cattle pen were recorded in Trench 6. The stratigraphy of the trenches suggests the site has been heavily landscaped, to create a level platform, probably when the original cattle market was constructed. The natural geology is overlain by a layer of made ground that deepens from the northern edge to the southeast corner of the site, at which point it is over a meter in depth. |
