Abstract: |
The evaluation produced a variety of archaeological evidence from the ten trenches excavated. Although no Roman occupation deposits could be confirmed a number of features of definite or probable Roman date were identified in the eastern half of the site. These included a ditch and post holes providing convincing evidence for Roman occupation in the area. The eastern part of the site also produced definite or probable medieval features such as a put and post holes while a medieval plough soil was tentatively identified in the western part of the site. A medieval pit contained three probable sherds of Ipswich ware pottery of the 8th century. Other definite medieval activity took the form of post holes and other structural elements in the north-west corner of the site immediately adjacent to Lawrence Street. A large but quite shallow feature partly excavated in Trench 3 may have been a medieval or post-medieval pond. The southern part of the site demonstrated that large-scale earth moving or landscaping had taken place in the relatively recent past and had removed any significant archaeology in this part of the site.
