Abstract: |
The archaeological watching brief comprised the monitoring of the groundworks for the conversion and extension of existing outbuildings to form two new residential dwellings (Plots 3 and 4), the erection of a new detached garage/playroom, a dividing wall and car port. The monitoring of Plot 3 and the detached garage/playroom identified a simple deposit sequence of a topsoil overlying a natural horizon of sands. A similar sequence of a modern made ground deposit overlying the natural sand horizon was also observed during the monitoring of the dividing wall and car port. Although the groundworks for Plot 4 were not monitored (as the author was not notified), an opportunity was presented to record any archaeological potential of the completed groundworks. The cut of a single possible post-medieval pit was noted at the southern fringes of the foundations of Plot 4. It was also noted during the monitoring of the dividing wall and car port that there had been a heavy degree of truncation of the ground levels as the natural sand horizon was recorded at a relatively high level here. The same situation was noted in the foundations of Plot 4 where the natural sand horizon was also identified at a high level within the foundations. There were no finds. |
