| Abstract: |
A archaeological evaluation was undertaken across the site in order to fulfil a condition upon planning permission for housing development. Two test pits, and three trial trenches were excavated. The test pits revealed a thick peat deposit below substantial overburden which had been recently dumped to raise the ground level and prevent the site from flooding. The peat in TP2 was of sufficient quantity and quality to be sampled for environmental data. No archaeological finds were recoverd. The base of the test pits could not be examined for archaeological features because they were beneath the level of groundwater. In the trial trenches no archaeological finds or features were revealed. In trenches 1 and 2 the natural gravel was less than 0.5m below the present day ground surface. In trench 3 modern disturbance was more than 1m deep. This area of the site had been levelled and disturbed during construction of the modern cricket pitch and pavillian. [Au(adp)] |
