Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out in advance of development at a site where archaeological evidence had been recorded following the demolition of a house in 1992. A possible Roman ditch and a Victorian well had been recorded, whilst prehistoric flints and Roman pottery had been recovered. A feature containing late medieval tile and a few sherds of pottery had also been found. During the evaluation, no archaeological features or in situ deposits were revealed. The uppermost layer observed represented recent disturbance of all levels of modern and possibly later medieval date. This overlay two levels which were thought to represent flood deposition in the Roman and post-Roman periods. It was noted that only the 70m wide foundation trenches of the new building woud have a significant effect beow the first layer, but that observation of these trenches would be unlikely to add any significant new information to that gained during the evaluation. It was recommended that no further archaeological work would be necessary in connection with the development. [AIP] |
