| Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out during groundwork for a commercial development. It soon became clear that the ground level across the site had been substantially raised by the depositing of loose to very dense fill comprising broken fragments of building rubble mixed with sand and clayey gravel. This had been done in order to raise the ground level to improve the drainage of the site prior to the building of terraced houses at the southern end of Mina Road in the late 19th century and Gatton Road in the early 20th century, being as part of the site lay close to the north bank of the River Frome. While a thin band of peat was recorded at a depth beneath the site during an earlier geotechnical survey, no features or deposits were observed during the archaeological monitoring. [Au(adp)] |
