Abstract: |
The evaluation consisted of two trenches, which were located to provide a representative sample of the site. Due to on-site constraints, it was necessary to slightly amend the trench locations, as proposed in the approved WSI. Non-significant overburden was removed, under constant archaeological supervision, to the top of archaeological remains, or the underlying natural deposits, whichever was encountered first. This was achieved through use of a 360° mechanical excavator, equipped with a toothless grading bucket. Features and spoil tips were visually scanned for finds. The evaluation identified natural clay and chalk substrates sealed beneath a subsoil layer and subsequent topsoil. The presence of intact subsoil suggested that preservation conditions were good. There were no archaeological features or finds within the trenches and, as such, the site is considered to be of very low archaeological potential. |
