Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the construction of the riverside apartments. Earlier evaluation trenches had located silt/flood deposits, which contained residual Roman pottery and glass, with natural deposits at a depth of c.5.85m AOD, the previous land surface (at 7.45m AOD), which was overlain by 19th century dump deposits. The watching brief was to observe all ground disturbance below 7.45m OD. The secant continuous bored pile retaining wall, crane base and pile caps were already in place before the watching brief began. The previous land surface was seen during the excavation of the northern end of the surface drainage trench. The excavation of the pumping chamber for the surface drainage ceased at the level of the silt deposit, when several sherds of Roman pottery were recovered. No archaeological deposits or artefacts were seen during the excavation of the lift pit, service trench or the foul drainage pumping chamber located on the Leeman Road frontage, due to insufficient depth (higher than 7.45m OD).
