Type and Period (2)
Protected Status/Designation
Full Description
PRN 13327
DURING EXCAVATIONS AT THE JUNCTION OF WORMGATE AND FOUNTAIN LANE MEDIEVAL REMAINS WERE OBSERVED. THE EARLIEST PHASE OF CONSTRUCTION ON THE SITE WAS A TIMBER STRUCTURE WITH WATTLE AND DAUB WALLS, AND COULD BE AS EARLY AS THE C12. THE NEXT PHASE OF OCCUPATION IS REPRESENTED BY A SERIES OF RELATED ARCHAEOLOGICAL FEATURES WHICH WERE PROBABLY STRUCTURAL, ALTHOUGH THE NATURE OF THE STRUCTURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED WITHOUT FURTHER EXCAVATION. A CLOAK BROOCH AND A GOLD BUCKLE DATING TO THE LATE C12-C14 WERE RECOVERED FROM THIS LAYER. THE LATEST PHASE OF MEDIEVAL ACTIVITY WAS A STRUCTURE WITH AN INTERNAL HEARTH, PERHAPS BUILT BY A RELIGIOUS ORDER, DURING THE C14. POTTERY WAS ALSO RECOVERED FROM THESE LAYERS. {1}
