Abstract: |
This report relates to a programme of archaeological evaluation undertaken by SLR Consulting on behalf of Henry Boot Developments Ltd (hereafter the Client). The work was carried out between 15th October and 23rd November 2007 on land within and surrounding the Gungate Precinct, Tamworth centred on NGR SK 20932 04185. The evaluation was undertaken in order to determine the below-ground archaeological potential of the area in advance of an application for planning permission to redevelop the area for mixed-use purposes. The evaluation was carried out in accordance with a detailed project design (SLR Consulting, 2007) which had been approved in advance by the Archaeological Planning Officer for Staffordshire County Council. Advantage was also taken of a complementary programme of test-pitting and boreholes for geotechnical investigations to supplement the details on sub-surface deposits obtained from archaeological trial trenching. The results of previous archaeological investigations have been incorporated as necessary to help with interpretation and deposit modelling. The results have revealed evidence for the bank and ditch defences of the Anglo Saxon burh and medieval town along the eastern side of the development, bordering Marmion Street. |
