Abstract: |
Trial trench evaluation prior to construction of two houses. The evaluation revealed no archaeological remains pre-dating the post-medieval/modern periods, indicating that this part of the fortified town was unoccupied in the medieval period. This could be due to it being on very low-lying ground. The ground was consolidated with a series of gravel layers prior to the construction of farm buildings in the post-medieval period. The evaluation did record a small section of brick wall foundation and a ceramic service pipe that were most likely the remains of buildings show on the site on early 20th-century maps. The buildings were demolished prior to 1977 and extensive layers of demolition debris were present in both trenches. A small feature containing animal bone was revealed in Trench 2. |
