Abstract:

The watching brief comprised the observation and recording of ground reduction at the rear of the property in advance of the construction of an extension at basement level and the building of a swimming pool. The watching brief identified the presence of natural sand and gravel at a height of 5.44m OD. Cut into these deposits were an early 18th century pit, a possible ice house dating to the late 18th century, an early-mid 19th century gravel pit and a late 19th century soakaway. [Au(abr)]
