摘要：

In October 2005 Birmingham Archaeology were commissioned by John Samuels ArchaeologicalConsultants on behalf of Natrass Giles, to excavate two evaluation trenches on land occupyingan area to the west of St. Mary's Gate and to the south of Warser Gate, centralNottingham (NGR SK 57593980). The site lies within the northern extent of the formerlate Saxon Borough, with the potential for medieval deposits including possible caves.Since buildings (which were due to be demolished) still remained on the site, an area ofhard standing, in the northeastern corner of the development area was evaluated. Theevaluation trenches identified a well, backfilled in the 17th century which contained residualmedieval ceramics. This feature survived within an island of natural sandstone,surrounded by post-medieval building foundations and cellars, which had largelytruncated evidence for Saxon or medieval occupation. Given the potential for thesurvival of archaeological deposits below the building which was due to be demolished (andnot available for evaluation), the area was subject to a watching brief after demolition. Asthe watching brief progressed extensive deposits dating to the medieval period wereuncovered. This resulted in a revised strategy for excavation and salvage recording fromNovember 2005 to May 2006.The excavation revealed a network of caves cut into the natural sandstone across most of thesite. Some of the caves were recorded at levels of between 3.5 and 4m below themodern ground level. As the only backfill comprised post-medieval building rubble a date forthe caves was unclear, however one cave in the southwestern corner of the site containedmedieval pottery, animal bone and tile.The medieval features were mostly located within the western and central-southern partsof the site. These comprised of a complex of inter-cutting pits with several deep, verticallysided, sub-rectangular and sub-circular pits cut into the natural bedrock. Of particular notewere two grain-drying ovens and the remains of a rectangular (possibly timber) structurewithin the southwestern quarter of the site.Along the eastern and northern boundaries of the site most of the medieval deposits at streetlevel had been truncated by post-medieval buildings, related to the former streetfrontages. Deep building foundations and attendant cellaring were observed to a depth inexcess of 3m below ground level. The footings and cellars of post-medieval buildings wererecorded in plan, with the remaining features such as wells, excavated to a safe depth.
