Abstract:
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site, which had remained vacant since the demolition of 19th century buildings in 1952. Two cobbled surfaces, associated with late post-medieval glass and pottery artefacts, were recorded, and a Roman burial urn was recovered. Further sherds of Roman or Romano-British pottery and several fragments of human bone were also found. It was suggested that future courses of action could consist of either preservation of archaeological deposits in situ, or a full research excavation. [AIP]
