Abstract: |
Archaeo-Environment Ltd. were commissioned by Mr Cooke of SC Electrics to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the excavation of ternches to install a new permanent electrical supply for markets traders at the Market Place, Richmond. The Market Place was historically the outer bailey of Richmond Castle (built in 1071) and its large cobbled area is now encircled by a collection of fine mostly Georgian buildings with the 12th century Holy Trinity Church in the centre. The development works consisted of removal of the cobbled Market Place surface and excavation of a small trench running adjacent to the base of the Butler Cross. In summary the watching brief provided no evidence on in-situ archaeological deposits of any significance, only sub base and construction debris associated with the recent re-cobbling. |
