Abstract: |
Trial pits revealed river terrace deposits mainly comprising sand and sandy gravel. Two deep features, provisionally identified as quarry pits, were discovered. One produced pottery dated to AD 50-160, and may have been a gravel pit associated with the nearby Roman road. The other feature produced two fragments of peg tile dated AD 1180-1480, although later objects recovered by contractors may have also come from this feature. These comprised a sherd from a dish in Surrey/Hampshire border whiteware with green glaze, the bases of two glass bottles and a clay pipe stem. No archaeological horizontal strata were recorded.
