Abstract: |
All groundworks, which had the potential to impact upon buried archaeological remains, were conducted whilst under constant archaeological observation. Groundworks excavation was undertaken by hand. The monitored groundworks comprised the excavation for the boundary wall. No natural deposits were encountered during this watching brief. Archaeological evidence in the form of limestone walls, rubble deposits and soil deposits were all securely dated to the Post-medieval period or later, with the exception of layer (102). A small quantity of residual Medieval pottery was recovered from contexts (101), (302), (503) and (505). Walls (202)/(506) and (404) formed a similar northwest-southeast/northeast-southwest co-axial alignment and therefore may possibly be contemporary. However, as this arrangement mirrored the current northwest-southeast property boundary, which most likely has origins to the Medieval period. Therefore it could also be likely that the walls represent earlier, but different phases of activity on the site in the Post-medieval period. Context (102) remains undated and it was not clear if the stones were part of an in-situ structure or a rubble/demolition layer. |
