Abstract: |
A small number of residual Roman finds were recovered, but there does not appear to have been significant activity at this time. Residual medieval material was also recovered and activity on the site at this time appears to have been represented by two postholes located at the south of the excavation area, which may have been associated with a small timber structure. The first significant phase of occupation appears to have commenced in the late 17th or early 18th century. One or more timber structures, aligned approximately parallel with Bardsley Lane appear to have been located north of the excavation area, with a number of contemporary features to the south probably being associated with these. Finds from these features, which mostly saw secondary use as refuse depositories, indicated domestic activity of a generally low status, though some of the residual finds of slightly earlier date suggested higher status occupation in the area. Occupation of the site continued throughout the 18th and19th centuries though far fewer features associated with these later phases of activity were extant in the area investigated, the latest finds recovered from excavated archaeological features dating to the early 20th century. No evidence of activity associated with a former cemetery, which had occupied the southern part of the site, was found during the investigation apart from a few tombstone fragments in 18th- and 19th-century pits and buildings evident on early maps of the area appeared to have been completely destroyed, their remains probably being present in the extensive rubble overburden removed prior to the excavation. |
