Abstract: |
The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of four trenches, varying in length from 4m to 30m. All trenches were 1.8m wide. The layout of the trenches was amended from that proposed in the WSI (2022) due to the presence of live services and other site constraints. Trenches were set out on OS National Grid co-ordinates using Leica GPS. Overburden was stripped from the trenches by a mechanical excavator fitted with a toothless grading bucket. All machining was conducted under archaeological supervision to the top of the natural substrate, which was the level at which archaeological features were first encountered. In June 2022, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at Brighton Road, Godalming, Surrey. A total of four trenches were excavated. The evaluation recorded three wall foundations. Two limestone built walls match structures shown on the 1871 Ordnance Survey map, and probably represent the remains of 19th-century ancillary or workshop buildings. A brick-built wall may represent an internal wall within a building shown on the 1968 Ordnance Survey map. The evaluation also recorded extensive modern levelling/demolition layers, presumably relating to the 20th-century redevelopment of the site. These layers directly overlay the natural substrate and are indicative of extensive truncation. |
