Abstract: |
The project consisted of an archaeological watching brief that followed an evaluation of the site. Archaeological evidence was totally absent for the prehistoric and Roman periods and indicates that during the medieval and post-medieval periods the site was open ground, although it may have been used for agricultural or horticultural purposes. In the north-west of the site the course of an in-filled water channel was exposed, that probably represented a stream active in the later medieval period. The stream appears to have completely silted up by the early 17th century. The site appeared to have remained largely undeveloped until the late 19th century when a row of terraced housing was built fronting onto Amhurst Road. |
