Abstract:		 A trial trench evaluation was undertaken in advance of residential development. One large ditch aligned NNW/SSE was observed within trenches 1, 2, 4 and 5. It contained a large number of deposits, with frequent pottery sherds, glass shards and brick/tile fragments ranging in date from the 15th/16th century to the mid 19th century, plus a single sherd of residual late 2nd-4th century Roman pottery and a prehistoric flint flake. Only the west side of the ditch was revealed, but the profile indicated that it was a least 8m wide and 2.2m deep. A number of other post-medieval features were identified, including three post holes, two pits and two gully/ditches. They contained 17th/18th century material including pottery sherds, glass shards and brick/tile fragments. In addition, there was an associated, but undated, NNW/SSE aligned ditch which was disturbed by a modern service trench. At no point were features pre-dating the post-medieval period identified. There was no defined subsoil and the overburden of mixed topsoil and building rubble lay directly over the natural clay. The building debris was probably dumped during construction of the recent Hanover Place development. [Au(abr)]
