Abstract: |
A total of six evaluation trenches were excavated in advance of the demolition and redevelopment of Mardyke Estate, Phase 2 scheme of works. Natural gravels and clays were observed within all trenches. Numerous cut features interpreted as natural tree throws and the result of bioturbation were encountered. in addition a number of linear features interpreted as boundary or drainage ditches were identified within two trenches. Although undated, these were comparable in alignment, profile and basal level to Roman ditches, as identified within the Phase 1 excavation, adjacent to the study area. These features may therefore indicate the continuation of a large north-west south-east aligned boundary ditch and demarcate the limits of a Roman enclosure to the north. |
