Abstract: |
Archaeological, Excavation and Surveys (AES) completed an archaeological Watching Brief during the construction of extension to 51a Union Street. The work had not been required at the Planning Stage but during an evaluation by AES at 24 Stowupland Street site staff visited the site and after consultation with Abby Antrobus agreed to maintain a Watching Brief. The work involved examining four footing trenches for the extension and the site of a soak away. No archaeological features or artefacts. However, the work did reveal significant dark organic silts aullvial acculimation extending down to a depth of 1.2m below the turfline. Natural was not encountered The results of the watching brief enhance and support those found at 24 Stowupland Street suggesting frequent flood inundations of the River Gipping. |
