| Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out as part of the planning process prior to the redevelopment of the site. One c.20m by 2m evaluation trench was opened. This followed on from a watching brief during soil investigation which revealed the presence of potential archaeological deposits in the northern part of the site, including pottery of later 15th to mid 16th century date. The evaluation produced one particularly significant result, in the form of an Early Iron Age feature cut into the natural brickearth. Although not fully exposed this appeared to be a pit of around 1.4m diameter by 0.6m deep. The excavated fills contained an assemblage of 123 potsherds, representing a minimum of 12 vessels including ten bowls and two jars. Only four other sherds of pottery were recovered, including a residual sherd from the subsoil which was of Late Iron Age/early Roman or early medieval date. There was also one undated but apparently early cut feature. The remaining sherds were of earlier post-medieval date (c1480-1700) and came from the reworked subsoil and from the fill of an apparently linear cut feature. These deposits were overlain and truncated by elements of late 19th century and subsequent development, including a backfilled cellar, concrete wall bases and construction make-up. [Au(abr)] |
