Abstract: |
Three trenches equating to c.7% of the Site area to be excavated, the confined space necessitating that one of these be hand-dug. Three trenches were excavated (two by machine and one by hand) to evaluate the potential of the Site and, in
particular, the potential for Palaeolithic evidence, as well as early medieval, medieval and post medieval settlement.
Trench 3 revealed only modern made ground while Trench 1 and Trench 2 showed Hackney gravels immediately
overlain by a sealed 18th/19th Century buried A-horizon (topsoil), with subsequent 20th Century construction/
demolition/reworking layers above.
While no archaeological features or findspots were located within the trenches, the evaluation confirmed the
presence of undisturbed Hackney gravels. |
