Construction workers in England’s East Midlands have uncovered part of a medieval wall.
Archaeologist, Leigh Brocklehurst, said: “Our initial excavation work has unearthed a wall which looks to be Medieval or earlier. Nearby on the site we have also started to uncover what is essentially a cross section in time; behind a Medieval wall we can see several layers which each date from a different period, from Victorian to Medieval and Roman at the very bottom.
“You can see pieces of pottery and bone through the layers allowing us to date them. Although we have what looks like a Medieval dwelling, we do not know at this stage its purpose – whether it was residential or if a trade was carried out here. It is a very exciting discovery and we will now start to carefully dig around each discovery to see what else we can find out about the site’s past.”
