Abstract: |
Following the recommendations of the local planning authority 4 evaluation trenches were excavated on the site. The south and south eastern parts of the site lies on a sand and gravel island with adjacent waterlain deposits which are probably the margins of a presumed periglacial feature known as the Rockingham anomaly. Archaeological deposits comprised two shallow 17th/18th century cuts containing articulated animal remains, a deep post-medieval ploughsoil horizon covered parts of the site, and this was cut into by a brick cess pit that was backfilled in the early 19th century and a late brick soakaway. There were also brick walls from at least two phases of 18th/19th century buildings. Fronting onto the New Kent Road, from at least 1799, was a terrace of houses known as Rockingham Place. The area was heavily bombed in the Second World War. |
