Abstract: |
Three phases of archaeological watching briefs were undertaken at on land at 1 and 3 Queen Anne's Gate, 9, 11 and 12-15 Dartmouth Street and 12 and 14 Carteret Street between 2nd March and 11th November 2015. The natural drift geology was a light yellow brown alluvial sand, which was seen across the study area. Four phases of archaeological activities were recorded during the investigations. The earliest of these was prehistoric and included a regular pattern of postholes and a large palaeochannel seen in the east of the site and a shallow linear noted in the west. The channel in the east of site was backfilled during the medieval period. Two pits and various soil horizons were encountered in the western sector of site. The busiest period was the post-medieval which saw an initial phase of quarrying and horticultural activities followed by two phases of building activities. The earliest phase was characterised by pits and horticultural soil horizons. Brick walls, drains, soakaways, a cesspit and tile and brick floor remnants characterised the building phases. Brick and concrete footing dating from the 20th century were seen across the site. |
