Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group at the site of 39 and 41 Medina Avenue, Newport. The aim of the evaluation was to assess the impact of the proposed residential redevelopment on any surviving archaeological remains. The evaluation comprised eight machine excavated trenches all of varying size, the largest being 4m by 4m. Two trenches were recognised as containing archaeological features. These features comprised two shallow ditches dated to the post medieval period and a soil horizon dated to the Roman period. The evaluation trenches showed that modern horizontal truncation of deposits had occurred in the southwest area, where substantial late post-medieval dumping had occurred. The evaluation trenches also demonstrated that undisturbed subsoil and topsoil deposits were present across the remaining area of the site, up to a depth of 1m. Overall, the potential for archaeological deposits to be present on the remainder of site is good, albeit of a low intensity nature. This is combined with the high level of preservation of the archaeological horizon across the majority of the site. |
