Abstract: |
A site strip of 1,700m² and 32 trenches were excavated over the site area of 3,100m². At no point was the natural undisturbed matrix observed. A number of brick structures were recorded, considered to be foundation walls, which appear to relate to various phases of the school building, all of which had been erected by 1900, along with cellar walls. Deposits used to backfill the cellar and to raise the ground level were observed in the south eastern area of the site. Further deposits considered to be deliberately imported to landscape the site following the demolition of the school were of modern, 21st century, origin. No other remains were exposed which could be specifically related to the educational development of the site. No deposits, features, layers or structures of archaeological significance predating the later 19th century were identified. |
