Abstract: |
The work was undertaken in connection with remediation of ground deposits prior to residential development. Historic mapping (OS 1884) shows the study site as formally part of a much larger rectangular open field with a track crossing the northern edge, this now aligns closely with the existing main access road (Sharry Lane) into the remaining depot area. A north-south line of trees bounds the west side of the site following a meandering natural watercourse. This has since been altered in connection with various phases of development either side of it. Natural geology comprising a Lias clay was exposed throughout the excavation. No significant archaeological features or deposits were observed cut into or overlying this layer. Instead the watching brief identified a number of modern features and deposits associated with the post war development of the study site as a storage depot comprising sheds and concrete hard-standing. An absence of any deposits pre-dating those associated with the depot suggests some truncation during its construction. No residual pre-20th century artefactual material was recovered during the excavation suggesting that there was little or no activity within the study site prior to development as a depot. |
