Abstract: |
Border Archaeology carried out a programme of archaeological field evaluation at 53 Whitburn Street Bridgnorth in respect of a proposal to convert the former Carpenters Arms public house and attached car-park area for residential use. Two trenches were excavated within the car-park area towards the rear of the plot (Trenches 1 and 3), with a further trench (Trench 2) opened within a former covered area close to the present street frontage (fig. 1). Trenches 1 and 3 revealed evidence for considerable late post-medieval and modern dumping and re-deposition of building debris, probably associated with the demolition of outbuildings within the grounds. The remains of a brick wall and associated surface or hard-standing were identified at the SE extent of Trench 1. Trench 2 was excavated close to the street frontage. Underlying modern landscaping material was evidence of medieval occupation albeit, truncated by later activity, which included a small quantity of fragmentary 12th century cooking pot. |
