Abstract: |
In the north-west corner of the medieval walled town of Sandwich, just inside the town rampart, the excavation of a narrow trench was observed during April 2013. This was cut north- south for 18m along an unadopted roadway known as 'The Butts' (NGR 632680 158492, centred). The trench was taken to a depth of about 2m and revealed a significant sequence of post-medieval deposits. At the base was natural alluvial clay. This was overlain by a succession of early post-medieval dump layers, up to 1.65m thick, containing much building debris, domestic waste and pottery dated c AD 1500-1550. Above these dumps, layers of rubble and hardcore supported the modern roadway. The tail of the medieval town rampart was not identified and must have lain just outside (i.e. west of) the excavated trench. |
