Abstract: |
The Watching Brief was undertaken on 26th and 28th April 2022 under the supervision of a qualified archaeologist from Past and Present Archaeology. The site was stripped in two parts; the northern half on the first day and the southern half on the second day. This was due to site constrictions for temporary storage of the removed overburden. The two phases of overburden removal comprised the initial breakage and removal of concrete flooring, shortly followed by the removal of made ground comprising red bricks primarily used for the levelling of the site. The stripping of the overburden was conducted using a machine excavator with a toothless grading bucket, excavated in controlled spits down to the top of the natural geological substrate, or first archaeological horizon, whichever came first. No archaeological features or artefacts were evident that dated to time periods prior to the Post Medieval Period. The footings from a brick-built building pertaining to a basement or coal cellar were identified in the northwestern corner of the site that are thought to date to the post medieval/early modern period. There was no evidence of tunnels or cave systems. |
