Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on former industrial land to assess the archaeological potential of the site through trial trenching. The evaluation followed a desk-based assessment which concluded that there was potential for a diverse range of archaeological activity on the development site. Because of the high levels of industrial contamination on parts of the site, only three areas were available for trial trenching. Excavations close to the River uncovered deep alluvial deposits, while those on the higher ground showed, amongst other features, a drainage system thought to be of recent origin. A concentration of archaeological activity datable to the 7th century middle Saxon period was recorded to the south-west of the site. This comprised large intercutting pits or ditches and a sequence of postholes. [Au(abr)] |
