Abstract: |
The evaluation was undertaken in response to a condition upon planning permission for the residential development of the site. No evidence of prehistoric, Roman or Saxon or medieval archaeology was found. There was no evidence for salt works at this location. Trench 1, adjacent to the road frontage produced evidence for a timber-framed structure or structures in the form of beam slots. Finds from two of these indicated a late post-medieval date (19th century). Following flooding from an adjacent drainage channel on the west side of the site, the ground level was raised artificially, possibly in the mid-late 19th century. New buildings were subsequently constructed in brick on the same site and alignment as the earlier wooden structures. Trench 2 produced two 19th century features, a pig burial and a probable drainage ditch and a further possible though undated drainage feature. Trenches 1 and 2 produced evidence of ancient water deposited layers. [Au(abr)] |
