A0272 Skeldergate, City Mills

Title: A0272 Skeldergate, City Mills
Alternative Title: 1983.2 Skeldergate, City Mills
Description: The excavation ceased when riverlain silts were reached at approximately 7m OD. At this level upright wicker structures were encountered. These may have acted as a breakwater and were thought to date to the 11th century. These were superseded by wicker and post constructions which marked the division between the river and an area of timber buildings close to the river bank. There was evidence of subsequent land reclamation from the river and a complex of warehouses and industrial buildings dating to the 13th-14th century were built on this land. A strip of the Skeldergate street front was excavated to 15th century levels, revealing a series of properties with brick or stone walls, hearths and fittings.
