Abstract: |
The project required the excavation of three 5m by 1.5m evaluation trenches. Due to space constraints it was necessary to slightly amend the trench sizes and locations. Topsoil and non-significant overburden was removed to the top of the archaeological deposits or natural, whichever was encountered first. This was achieved with the use of a 360º mechanical excavator with a toothless grading bucket. Thereafter the trenches were cleaned and all additional excavation was conducted by hand. Due to the limited nature of the investigation, it is difficult to interpret feature [205]. However, the feature’s downward sloping profile suggests that it was not related to terracing or levelling activity. Although no dating evidence was recovered from the feature, it was sealed by subsoil (204) and, as such, is unlikely to be of modern origin.
Contexts (102), (204) and (302) were fairly substantial soil deposits and are likely to represent levelling or make-up layers. The presence of 17th/18th century pottery within contexts (102) and (302) suggests that this activity is probably related to landscaping associated with St Andrews House.
The evaluation has indicated that there is a medium to high potential for archaeological features to occur within the proposed development area. However, the identified archaeological remains are, at present, undated. |
