Full Description
November 2009. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of proposed development site.
Despite the proximity of the medieval graveyard to this site no in-situ remains or disarticulated bones were recovered, which suggests that the medieval graveyard did not extend into the evaluation area. A domestic refuse pit was revealed in trench 2 containing food waste such as shell and bone fargments and sooted 11th -14th century pot sherds. It is possible that this refuse pit was located within the 'backyard' of a medieval property that may have fronted onto Mill Street.
