Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation trenching was conducted as part of the planning process for a residential development. Two trenches were excavated to the depth of the subsoil within the site. In both trenches the investigation encountered linear cuts which probably originated as drainage features associated with the modern use of the area as a garden and tennis courts or with it's earlier use as farmland. Artefactual finds were extremely sparse and restricted almost entirely to modern pottery and a single clay pipe stem within topsoil deposits. Trench 2 also provided a single sherd of medieval green-glazed pottery. None of these structural and artefactual discoveries amounted to remains of archaeological significance. It was concluded that the nature of remains found upon the site did not support a recommendation for further archaeological evaluation or mitigation work. [Au(adp)] |
