Abstract: |
The evaluation consisted of 13 trenches. All trench measurements refer to the base of the trench as dug. The trenches were located in order to provide a representative sample of the site, as well as to investigate a number of possible archaeological anomalies, which were identified in the previous geophysical survey. Due to on-site constraints, it was necessary to slightly alter some of the trench locations; all amendments to the approved trenching plan were agreed with the representative of Surrey County Council Heritage Conservation Team. 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 JCB type mechanical excavator, equipped with a toothless grading bucket. Features and spoil tips were visually scanned for finds. The general paucity of finds and features within the trenches indicated that the site was not likely to be located at, or near, to any particular focus of archaeological activity. Furthermore, there was no evidence for any activity associated with the local Post-medieval pottery industry. An isolated shallow pit, with a charcoal-rich in-fill, remained undated and little further can be said of this feature. A later Post-medieval/Modern ditch was likely to be the remains of a former agricultural boundary. |
