Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out on the excavation of four trial holes in advance of a combined sewerage outflow. The upper 1.2m showed significant disturbance from modern building and services. No archaeological remains or deposits were discovered with the trial holes. A concentration of animal bones were recovered from two drill cores at a depth of c.3m. A watching brief was undertaken during topsoil stripping for a temporary access and for the chamber of the Combined Sewer Outfall. The area excavated for the CSO had been disturbed to a depth of 1.75m during the installation of a concrete clad sewerage pipe, with made ground, rubble and blaes present throughout the area. The watching brief on the trial holes and the excavation of the CSO pit and associated access track revealed no significant archaeological remains or deposits. |
