Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation comprising 3no. 12.5m x 1.8m mechanically excavated trenches under archaeological supervision followed by hand cleaning and recording in accordance with accepted professional standards. The investigation revealed geological deposits of clay and gravel Gault Formation at a depth of between 0.15m and 0.30m bgl. In trench 1, the geological deposits were cut by a large pit or quarry feature from which late post-medieval or modern brick and roof tile was recovered. No archaeological features or deposits were recorded in trenches 2 and 3. The pit or quarry in trench 1 and the underlying geological deposits in trench 3 were both sealed by a former topsoil. The former topsoil had been buried by a modern levelling deposit, above which a new topsoil had been laid, recorded in trenches 1, 2 and 3. This topsoil formed the existing ground surface across most of the PDA, although in some areas the underlying levelling deposit and geological deposits formed the existing ground surface indicating that the site may have been truncated in recent times. |
