Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological observation of groundworks regarding a proposed development to the rear of No. 6 Whitburn Street, Bridgnorth, took place between 28th and 30th April 2008. It was anticipated that the site could contain significant archaeological remains relating to medieval burgage plots fronting onto Whitburn Street. The programme of observation revealed a cobbled yard surface and several wall foundations relating to late post-medieval (18th-19th century) occupation on the site. Modern drainage and utility trenching relating to extant buildings abutting the site was also identified. During the site excavations a moderate quantity of ceramic building materials, pottery, glass, animal bone and clay pipe fragments, uniformly of late post-medieval (18th-19th century) date, was encountered in association with the wall foundations, drainage and utility trenching. This programme of archaeological observation confirms that no archaeology predating the post-medieval period was damaged or disturbed during the works. |
