Abstract: |
Trent and Peak Archaeology was commissioned by BSP Holdings to carry out a program of archaeological monitoring and recording on a watching brief at 12-14 St Marks Street, Nottingham (SK 57655 40160). The ground investigations broadly comprised a trial trench evaluation, undertaken between the 6th-7th of November 2017, followed by an intermittent watching brief between January and February 2018 on the excavation of the building foundations, prior to the construction of a six storey building. The development area totalled approximately 63.25m2. The excavation revealed evidence for post-medieval and modern activity, including walls, concrete, and pipework, several of which are likely to relate to the housing present on the 1881 Ordnance Survey map. The excavation also unveiled a number of undated pits, ditches and post-holes. Further monitoring, undertaken between the 19th January and the 5th February 2018, was required on additional groundworks undertaken within the footprint of the demolished building. This comprised the excavation of a foundation trench prior to the construction of the six storey building, which revealed a continuation of the c.19th brick wall and pit features observed during the trial trench evaluation (Figures 08-10). These likely relate to the earlier demolished residential dwellings. |
