Full Description
This project consisted of a major archaeological watching brief and excavation programme, conducted across an extensive part of the maritime and water-front areas of this important historic town, ahead of major road construction and sewer trenching, between the summer of 1991 and the spring of 1993. There were 21 areas of archaeological investigation: the fifth the north side of Limekiln Street, at foot of cliffs. A limited watching brief was undertaken during road building. A post-medieval cliff retaining wall and a small man-made cave dug into the cliff face was uncovered. (1)
