Abstract: |
Trial trench excavations by Trent and Peak Archaeology in May 2018 on the Site of the former Broadmarsh Bus Station and Car Park found deposits and features dating to the Mesolithic, Medieval and Post-Medieval periods. Three trenches were excavated. The medieval features are likely to represent boundary features associated with the Greyfriars, namely two well-preserved sections of wall that may represent the precinct walls of the Greyfriars, as well as deposits potentially associated with activity within the precinct walls. Presence of at least some medieval tiles from a high-status building may indicate a church or other structures associated with religious orders within the vicinity of the Site. However, given that only small sections of both of the walls have been revealed, their function, their relationship to each other and the sort of activity to which they relate are currently uncertain. Animal remains suggested possible light leather production within the Site, although the relatively small size of the assemblage and the lack of features associated with tanning within the trenches make this uncertain. |
