Abstract: |
AOC Archaeology completed an archaeological monitored topsoil strip and excavation on behalf of HB Villages Developments Ltd on an area designated as Land East of West Bowling Green Street. The works follow on from an archaeological evaluation carried out by AOC in 2017 where two separate areas of cobbles were discovered likely forming part of a yard. The topsoil strip comprised of an area measuring 12.11m x 8.80m and revealed a continuation of the cobbled surface extending beyond the limits of the excavation. This surface was cut by four concrete foundation bases and was bounded by a sandstone wall at the eastern extent. The cobbled surface and associated sandstone wall likely relate to a 18th century structure serving as a possible yard with the concrete foundations relating to the 19th century fertiliser works. |
