Abstract: |
University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) carried out archaeological monitoring of groundworks on land at Canal Street/Cliff Road (formerly Narrow Marsh), Nottingham, (SK 5649 4149) from the 19th June to 18th September 2018. The programme of ground works included the excavation of ground investigation test pits and ground remediation works which included the stripping of overburden and removal of railway viaduct foundations in preparation for construction. The attendance during the excavation of Trial Pits confirmed the presence of possible buried medieval and post-medieval deposits close to the water table. The potential medieval deposits were reached in Trial Pits at depths of between 2.5m and 3m. Similar deposits were recorded in previous archaeological trial trenching. Archaeological monitoring of overall ground reduction of 2m revealed very deep post-medieval garden soils and overlying was a substantial modern overburden which included 19th-century cellars, wells and culverts. The removal of substantial railway viaduct foundations excavated to a depth of 5m revealed the underlying geology that comprised alluvium overlying Nottingham Castle Sandstone. |
