Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation excavation and watching brief has demonstrated that the upper deposits across the impact area to a depth of between 0.65m and 1m are probably late 19th or early 20th century in date, and have been placed there to level up the ground at some stage before its development in the early 20th century. These deposits have been laid down over a layer of chalk, which was presumably imported to level up and seal the underlying wet ground. Below the chalk was sealed a damp peaty/friable loam containing rounded flint pebbles, which may represent an in-situ remnant soil, predating the later 19th century. No in-situ dating material was located from this context or the underlying gravel and alluvium, however two sherds of probableLate Iron Age or Roman pottery recovered from the spoil heap are thought to have derived from one of these layers. |
