Abstract: |
The area of the footprint of the development was stripped under archaeological
supervision to the archaeological horizon or the natural geological layer, whichever
was the highest. This was carried out with a mechanical excavator equipped with a
toothless ditching bucket. Exposed archaeological features were cleaned by hand,
recorded and excavated.
An archaeologist was present on site during the course of further excavations that
would potentially disturb or destroy archaeological remains and again archaeological
features or other remains were recorded by written, drawn and photographic record. The stratigraphy of the site suggested that the area had been disturbed in the past by
landscaping and excavation with areas of made up ground towards the south west of
the site and substantially truncated soil layers in the west. The features found were
undated pits and pits 15 and 19 were very irregular and not easy to define in plan. The
remains of modern pathways were identified towards the south central area of
excavations but no other features were identified. |
