Abstract: |
All intrusive groundworks were monitored and recorded under constant
archaeological supervision in order to identify any archaeological finds,
features or deposits. Initial groundworks comprised the removal of the existing
substrates to excavate northeast and southeast foundation trenches to a total
depth of 0.95m below existing ground level, as marked on Figure 2. Due to the
presence of in-situ tarmac, concrete and hardcore layers, a toothed grading
bucket was employed to remove these layers as well as manual hand
excavation by the on-site workers. Archaeological finds consisted of two fragments of red/orange glazed
earthenware pottery late Post-medieval, a fragment of clay pipe smoking stem
and a piece of animal bone, frequent brick rubble was also identified but not
retained. No significant archaeological features or deposits were observed
during the monitoring works. It should be noted however, that since natural
deposits were not encountered, it is possible that archaeological features
survive at a greater depth. |
