Abstract: |
The evaluation consisted of four trial trenches designed to investigate the archaeological potential of the site. The watching brief consisted of an area measuring 114m2 excavated to the east end of Trench 1 in order to define and record a vaulted brick structure partially exposed during the evaluation. Within Trench 1, four 19th century brick structures were encountered, including a vaulted structure, initially interpreted as an ice-house or vaulted culvert, as well as a possible pond or moat feature. Deposits within Trench 2 had been totally truncated by previous activity. Trench 3 contained a linear feature, possibly a field or enclosure ditch, securely dated to the late second / early first millennia BC. Trench 4 contained only modern intrusions and services cutting through slightly landscaped natural deposits. The watching brief showed the brick structures recorded in Trench 1 to be a bridge with arched span plus associated abutments and wing walls, and a possible previous revetment associated with the moat. |
