Description
Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out on residential development because of its location within the outer bailey of a medieval castle and nearby 16th and 17th century listed buildings. Reduction of the ground level by removal of topsoil, subsoil and overburden had previously taken place alongside 5 Castle Lane prior to the construction of several associated outbuildings on its north-east side. The foundations of these outbuildings had truncated the natural and all subsequent soil horizons. Where no previous development had taken place clean natural sand was encountered below colluvium. No finds or features were found in any deposit.
