Description
Evaluation trenching carried out prior to the construction of two houses at land to the rear of 64 Southgate Street revealed evidence for widespread disturbance of the ground in the medieval period thought to be associated with stone quarrying for building construction. The disturbance was cut by shallow pits dating from the 12th to 14th centuries. Three trenches were excavated to a depth of c.1m-2m. A fourth trench was c.3.2m deep (S1).
