| Abstract: |
A total of 5 test pits and one evaluation trench were excavated, and archaeological deposits were identified within all of these trenches, but the material was almost exclusively post-medieval. Health and safety consideration limited the depth of investigation to 1.5 metres, but while undisturbed natural ground was not reached, no significant deposits were encountered within the depth investigated. Thus the results of the evaluation did not demonstrate conclusively the presence or absence of archaeological material from earlier periods within the study area, (although some Roman pottery was uncovered but only in a residual context). The evaluation did however, demonstrate that any surviving remains were sufficiently truncated or deeply buried for the effecsts of development of the site on any surviving archaeology to be limited.
