Abstract: |
Evaluation consisiting of three trail pits measuring 2m by 4m machine dug down to the natural River Terrace sand and gravels. The pits were approximately 4.4m - 5m in depth. The site was viewed as having potential to produce Roman archaeology, specifically preserved timber structures and posts. No in-situ finds or timbers were recovered. Deposits within the trial pits were broadly comparable across the site. Below a made ground layer some 0.7m to 2.3m deep was a firm light brown clay alluvium layer. This sealed a dark blue alluvium layer with occasional organic and peat deposits becoming increasingly black towards the top of the natural gravels. The combined thicknes of alluvium was between 1.9 to 3.6m. Natural River Terrace gravels were recorded at between 0.91m and 1.6m OD. |
