Northgate Street and New Park Street, Devizes, Wiltshire - Archaeological Evaluation Report

Wessex Archaeology

One feature of potential significance has been identified as a well of medieval date, though neither the date nor function are certain. The sample trenches also identified an earlier post-medieval pit, containing a mixed assemblage of artefacts (pottery, bone, CBM, glass etc). Together with a further pit and two postholes potentially from the late 17th century. A cellar wall may relate to buildings indicated on an early map of 1759.

Overall the significance of these remains has been affected by subsequent groundworks to the extent that they exist as discrete features cut into natural, limiting establishing stratigraphic relationships.
