Abstract: |
The watching brief was carried out during the excavation of a foundation trench for an extension to the rear of the property and a service trench. In trench 1, the earliest deposit identified was a layer of silty clay, which was possibly Romano-British in date and was exposed but not truncated by the groundworks. This was sealed by a substantial layer of mixed loam, which included post-medieval pottery, residual Romano-British and medieval pottery, clay pipe, ceramic building materials and a very large quantity of animal bone. In trench 2 a cellar contemporary with the existing house (early 19th century) was sealed by modern make-up layers and paving. The presence of medieval and Romano-British pottery in residual contexts and the fact that the groundworks did not involve very deep excavation, meant that the possibility remained that significant archaeological remains dating to before the post-medieval period survived on site.
