Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation took place as part of a condition attached to planning permission for the redevelopment of the former Waterworks Site. Significant archaeological remains were found in the central part of the proposed development area. Mainly these took the form of domestic rubbish pits of the 12th - ?14th centuries and 16th+ century, presumably lying in the 'backlands' of plots fronting onto what is now Station Road West. The area appears not to have been inhabited during the 14th to early 16th centuries. The eastern part of the site was found to have been heavily truncated probably during the construction of the Waterworks. No medieval or early post-medieval remains were present. Evaluation of the western part of the proposal area was not possible at this stage |
