Abstract: |
Full excavation of a basement area covering c. 1050m2. The archaeological sequence included a revetted Roman palaeochannel, Roman clay and timber buildings, wells and pits. Features and finds dated from the late 1st to late 4th/early fifth centuries. The Roman stratigraphy was sealed by a substantial 'dark earth' horizon which contained numerous Roman coins along with late Roman and medieval pottery. The medieval period was well represented by pits, a gravel road/alleyway and extensive building remains founded on chalk and stone footings. The most substantial medieval building remained in use in the early post-medieval period when the alleyway was extended and the smaller structures were demolished. The earlier buildings were replaced by new structures built in brick. These probably date to the 16th century. The site continued to be intensely occupied throughout the 17th -19th centuries as evidenced by numerous rebuilds and remodelling of the buildings |
