Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out during construction of a new sewer. The site had the potential for exposing features and deposits associated with a number of earlier phases of the development of the quay. The excavation exposed a small bonded stone revetment wall behind which a series of soil, clay and rubble deposits extended 35m northwest. These deposits along with the revetment wall, probably date to the remodelling of the quay in the late 17th century. Above these deposits, phases of quay heightening and re-surfacing were identified. Later re-modelling of the quay was also identified. Within this material a large sandstone slab with a kerb, probably displaced from an earlier quay and dumped within early 18th century infill, was recorded. |
