| Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation, by trial trenching, was undertaken prior to the proposed redevelopment of the site. The evaluation consisting of 13 trial trenches, excavated in order to investigate a series of anomalies identified by an earlier geophysical survey and to further test its validity by targeting apparent blank areas. The site stratigraphic sequence comprised a current topsoil overlying a series of superimposed gravely clay-based layers, which were interpreted as natural deposits. No significant archaeological features or artefacts were exposed, although a small quantity of post-medieval pottery was recovered from the topsoil in three trenches. The potential of the site to contain any archaeological remains was considered negligible, and it was expected that no further archaeological works would be required. [Au(abr)] |
