Abstract: |
Two trenches were excavated within the boundaries of the site and around the footprint of the previously standing mid-twentieth century block of flats. Both trenches revealed natural gravels upon which lay an organic peaty deposit within a depression in the land, likely due to the prolonged presence of water in the area possibly as a result of flood activity or due to the presence of marshland or a bog. Sealing this across both trenches was a layer of redeposited brickearth that, it is believed, was dumped for waterproofing and ground consolidation prior to the building of housing in the nineteenth century. Dug into this brickearth were a series of construction cuts, fills and associated masonry which formed the foundation/basement walls for the pre-existing nineteenth buildings. It appears from finds recovered from demolition rubble associated with these remains that the buildings were demolished in the early to mid twentieth century. Although two small 'drainage' ditches were observed cut into natural and redeposited gravel, no cultural material was recovered from their associated fills and as such their date could not be verified. It is possible, however, that they relate to land drainage during the post-medieval period. |
