Excavations at Low Fisher Gate, Doncaster, South Yorkshire

Abstract

The excavations at Low Fisher Gate, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, produced a sequence of urban deposits dating from the late eleventh/twelfth to the eighteenth century. These included riverside structures of early thirteenth-century date, made in part from reused boat timbers, together with a series of superimposed tenement buildings of thirteenth- to sixteenth-century date and some post-medieval features. The site seems to have had mixed domestic and industrial functions throughout its history.
