Abstract: |
As a result of a request for further information prior to the determination of a planning application for the construction of a new school hall at St Lawrence VA Lower School. The Heritage Network was commissioned by the school governors to undertake an archaeological evaluation of the site. The fieldwork consisted of the excaviation of two trial trenches. The site lies within an archaeologically sensitave area and it was considered that there was a potential for the discovery of prehistoric, Roman and Medieval remains. Trench 1 was located across the south-western half of the footprint of the proposed new building. Four achaeological features were noted at the South-western end, beyond the footprint of the proposed new building. One feature produced pottery fragments, which suggest a Saxo-Norman or early medieval date. Trench 2 was located within the eastern half of the proposed building. It demonstrated that the area had been significantly disturbed, probably during the construction of the exisiting school buildings. |
