Abstract: |
The fieldwork comprised the mechanical excavation of a single 15m long, 1.8m wide trench within the footprint of the new building. ll machining was conducted under archaeological supervision to the top of the natural substrate. Upcast spoil was scanned for artefactual evidence and subject to a metal detector survey. The excavated trench was 15m long by 1.8m wide and oriented northeast to southwest. The surface context (100) was a mid-greyish brown silty sand with frequent small stones and 0.35m thick. This appeared to be redeposited material which covered a former topsoil (101), which was 0.20m deep. The subsoil (102), a mid-greyish-brown silty sand with frequent gravel was 0.35m deep over the natural (103), a reddish yellow coarse sand with reddish brown gravelly sand patches. No finds were recovered and no contexts required sampling. |
