Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological works including excavation and monitoring was carried out during groundworks associated with the Castle Green Enhancement Scheme, Taunton. The majority of the features and deposits exposed within Castle Green related to the post-medieval use of the area as a livestock market. Evidence for the medieval use of the area was generally limited, but confirmed the distribution of the early medieval cemetery within the former outer bailey of the castle. An in situ burial provided a radiocarbon date of 976-1152 cal AD. The scheme had been designed to minimise the disturbance to significant archaeological deposits and in this respect the project was extremely successful with the majority of works disturbing only modern or late post-medieval deposits. |
