Abstract:
Nine trenches totalling 240m in length and 1.6m wide were machine excavated (equalling 384m²). The location of these trenches was limited due to site various constraints including gas/electric mains and spoils heaps. Positive results were obtained from five of the trenches excavated although much of the archaeology uncovered remains undated. During the initial phase evaluation Trench 8 identified a dense area of archaeology close to the western boundary of the ambulance station. Trenches 5, 6 and 9 were located in close proximity to this trench where further archaeological features were identified. These included potential domestic activities and enclosure ditches. Elsewhere further ditches were observed in Trenches 1 and 2 although these features were less clustered than the ones observed further north.
