Abstract: |
The evaluation, consisting of the excavation of two trial trenches, was undertaken prior to the proposed redevelopment of the site. A gravel filled feature was recorded at the west end of Trench 2. This feature and the natural were overlain by two phases of plough soil from which probable Roman and certain medieval pottery was recovered. Burnt and worked flint was also recovered from these deposits. A thick deposit of garden soil, which appeared to have developed throughout the later post-medieval period, overlay the plough soil. A post hole and a linear cut were located beneath modern rubbish pits in trench 1 so their stratigraphic relationship to the plough soil was unknown. [Au(abr)] |
