Abstract:
Eight evaluation trenches were excavated within two walled gardens. Trenches located in the smaller of the two gardens, close to the Canonbury Street frontage, revealed a series of deposits and structures associated with building activity together with a small assemblage of medieval pottery. The evidence suggested that this area contained up to three medieval dwellings and associated burgage plots. The remains of a 19th century greenhouse, along with a series of deposits and structures relating to drainage were revealed within the larger garden. A series of formal garden features possibly predating the walled garden were also uncovered as well as further garden features. [Au(adp)]
