Abstract: |
Two trenches were excavated in the northern part of the Read's Flour Mill site. Trench one contained at least two major phases of revetment and foreshore reclamation evidenced by timbers, including fragments of re-used boats. Fragments of at least four boats of English timber dated to the 12th century were recovered. These increased the existing sample of such material by c.20 percent and can, therefore, be said to be of national importance. Other well preserved organic material was also found. The earliest phase of revetment dated to the late 11th or early 12th centuries. Trench two was situated adjacently to the street frontage. Some evidence of prehistoric activity was found together with a complex sequence of medieval timber buildings. In the post-medieval period the western part of the trench was occupied by a large cellared building and the eastern part by a poorly built flint and mortar structure, possibly a warehouse.
