| Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of an extension to the Elmsleigh Centre. The archaeological potential of the area was well known from excavation work carried out previously in the vicinity, but was variable, depending on the degree of disturbance caused by post-medieval and modern development. During the evaluation, an area which had been examined in 1974/5 was identified, due to the presence of a 19th century brick-built wall and an 18th century wall which had been recorded in relation to the excavation. Two soil layers which had been cut by the previous excavation were observed at the extreme northern end of the evaluation trench. A residual fragment of Roman tile was recovered from one, whilst the other contained a handle from a late 13th or 14th century vessel, and single sherds of pottery of earlier medieval and Roman date. Several pits which were mostly of 19th century origin were noted, and a deposit containing fragments of Roman and medieval brick/tile was found. It was concluded that significant remains were unlikely to have been discovered had the trench been extended beyond the limits imposed, but that there was a possibility that some remains, particularly deep features, may have survived between or below areas of modern disturbance.
