Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation by CPAT which demonstrated that medieval and later archaeological deposits survive along the street frontage, which does not appear to have been disturbed significantly by the construction in the 19th century of a row of terraced housing. A deposit containing exclusively medieval artefacts was revealed along the frontage which, although disturbed by modern services, demonstrates the potential for medieval archaeology to survive. Investigations at the rear of the plot revealed a significant depth of 19th-century and later material, comprising demolition rubble overlying garden soils, with alluvial deposits beneath likely to have resulted from episodic flooding. The natural subsoil was not attained and the evaluation was therefore unable to confirm the presence or absence of any medieval deposits within this part of the site. |
