Abstract: |
The geotechnical watching brief observed natural glacial sands and gravels lying relatively close to the surface - in two instances the natural surface was overlain by subsoil deposits, presently undated. The subsoil horizon seen in the east of the site (WS 9) exhibited characteristics consistent with cultivated soil deposits. In situ walls were present in the south of the site (BH 3) and the north-east corner (WS 6), the surfaces of which were present within 0.3m of current ground level. The wall in BH 3 measured 2.5m in depth and indicates the presence of possible basements/cellars across the southern part of the site. In all the interventions modern made ground, mainly comprising rubble, sand and re-deposited soils, was present to a variety of thicknesses below the current ground surface. |
