Abstract: |
The archaeological watching brief monitored groundworks occurring within the south eastern part of the proposed development site, the rest of the site having already been stripped of topsoil and the hedges removed. A 'not very deep' brick lined well had been found and removed during earlier groundworks which must have been the pump, marked on 1856 and 1895 mapping, though no longer existing in 1912. The Roman milestone thought to have once existed within one of the hedges within the development site had been removed by the time of the archaeological observation. The excavations monitored by the archaeological watching brief encountered only a mid dark brown silt, suggesting that the previous works had stripped the entire site, and used the large amount of topsoil removed to level the ground ready for the compound and later development. The groundworks monitored during the archaeological watching brief did not impact on any archaeological remains. |
