| Abstract: |
Evaluation Trench 1 revealed the remains of the 19th century dumping either undertaken to raise the land, possibly against flooding, and/or in preparation for the construction of the 19th century gardens and associated boundary walls that occupied the site. The second trench to the south revealed probable 12th to 13th century field boundaries. A series of undated pits, a ditch and a substantial early-mid 19th century gravel quarry partially destroyed the earlier features. This was itself sealed by a chalk levelling/foundation layer associated with a brick wall forming part of the late gardens. The strip footing of a second wall was found nearby. [Au(abr)] |
