| Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was commissioned in advance of the proposed construction of four townhouses and one low cost dwelling. Three trial trenches were excavated to a cumulative length of 50m. Archaeological features were discovered in the southern half of the site (Trench 2). One medieval ditch was recorded and excavated. The original function of this ditch was unknown, but it may have been used as a drainage channel connected to the River Eden. In all of the trenches alluvial deposits were encountered. It was therefore likely that this area was once a wet marsh ground. The trenches showed that there had been substantial importation of materials within the relatively recent past. No archaeological features were observed in the northern half of the site. [Au(abr)] |
