Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation trenches and contractor's trial pits revealed gravels of the First River Terrace in several locations. Among the unstratified artefacts recovered from the site were three waste flakes, dated to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, and a tile fragment and four potsherds of Roman date. A badly corroded iron spearhead, recovered from an unidentified cut feature, was provisionally dated to the early Saxon period. Some areas of the terrace gravel appeared to have been truncated during the early post-medieval period, probably by quarrying. Most of the post-medieval strata and features appeared to be associated with agricultural activity or gardening. For example, six bedding trenches, probably of 18th-century date, were found on the south side of the site. A small assemblage of post-medieval pottery was recovered, and included Border wares, English Stoneware, Pearlware and Hard Paste Porcelain. Three trial pits revealed the remains of 19th and early 20th-century buildings. [Au] |
