Abstract: |
The archaeological monitoring of the mechanical excavation of the foundations for a new two-storey residential dwelling with attached garage was carried out by Neville Hall MIFA on the 23rd of June 2010. The monitored foundations for the new build footprint identified two simple deposit sequences within the monitored area. To the west, this comprised a topsoil/ploughsoil horizon, which overlay a natural subsoil and a second natural horizon made up largely of weathered cornbrash limestone fragments. To the east, the topsoil/ploughsoil was replaced in this sequence by a modern made ground deposit, which was quite substantial in places. This and a slightly reduced ground level at the eastern fringes of the new build area were associated with the siting and recent removal of a farm outbuilding that had been associated with the nearby Manor Farm. No archaeological features, deposits, structures or finds that could be associated with the medieval and post-medieval settlements of Quarrington were found. It is also considered that this development site is beyond the boundaries of the early/mid Saxon settlement. Due to the absence of archaeological activity on this site, it was agreed with the local planning authority archaeologist that no further monitoring would be required. |
