Abstract: |
1.1 In November and December 2018, Trent and Peak Archaeology were commissioned by Blueprint to undertake an archaeological excavation at the Fruitmarket site, Nottingham (1-27 Bedford Row and 57-117 Brook Street, Fig. 1). Sneinton's former Fruitmarket Site is situated on high land, north of the now culverted Beck watercourse, some 300m beyond the eastern extent of the Anglo-Saxon borough. Immediately to the east of the site in Victoria Park, finds of Viking swords made in1851, probably indicate the existence of at least two Viking burials, of a suggested 10th century date (Lang and Ager 1989, 103). The site for archaeological mitigation comprised a c.1000m² (c.0.1ha) block of land within the northeastern portion of the total 0.6ha site. |
