Abstract: |
A total of 11 geotechnical test pits were observed during the watching brief. The Park Pale ditch, belonging to the nearby medieval hunting lodge, potentially crossed the site. However no evidence of this ditch was observed. Towards the centre of the site was an in-filled pond which contained organic material and an extensive quantity of 20th century material. Across the entire site, the ground surface was exceptionally uneven, due to the presence of dumped modern material. Apart from two undated sandstone walls, which were recorded to the centre/east of the site, no features or deposits of archaeological interest were observed during the groundworks. No artefactual material pre-dating the modern period was recovered. |
