Abstract: |
All intrusive operations were observed across the site revealing made ground, a sandy silt above the natural sand and gravel. Looking at the evidence from all four archaeological investigations, this site has been more or less destroyed, particularly in the eastern side. The concrete stanchion found by the DGLA would not have been an isolated structure. There would have been others though no trace was found in any of the subsequent investigations. This implies the site had been partially 'de-bouldered', that is turned over to remove any intrusive structures. This probably happened in the 1990s. This conclusion is confirmed by the later SAS observations, which shows deep made ground over natural in most of the eastern part of the site, evidence seen in the strip and sewer trenches. The western side appears to have suffered less with the silty sand deposit surviving along the western and southern edges. The deposit appeared to be waterlain and only contained 17th and 18th century CBM and a single abraded sherd of Roman Greyware. It was probably a cultivated soil and may represent the remains of the orchard shown on Rocque's map. |
