Abstract: |
Field evaluation consisting of six trenches. Archaeological features and deposits were observed in four of the trenches. In Trench 2 these consisted of intercutting pits, one of which contained a fragment of Roman pottery. A small cluster of ephemeral features consisting of a shallow ditch and a group of severely truncated postholes was evident in Trench 3; no dating evidence was recovered from these. A truncated fragment of a gully or small ditch was evident in Trench 5 - no dating evidence was recovered from this feature. A substantial ditch containing a large sherd of medieval pottery was found in Trench 6. The remaining trenches contained natural deposits consisting principally of loose orange sand, some more consolidated gravel deposits and compact yellowish brown clay. Trenches 1 and 4, particularly the latter, showed evidence of very large modern intrusions of a size consistent with the existence of underground structures. However, no walls demonstrating the previous existence of basements were evident and map regression did not suggest that these areas would have been impacted by belowground building. |
