Abstract: |
Excavation in the northern part of the trench revealed a deposit of peat directly below a basement slab, which overlay a layer of yellow sandy alluvium which sealed the natural sand. Several bricks walls, the earliest of which dated from the early 18th century, a red brick floor and a circular soak-away with associated drains were located in the southern area of the trench. These features truncated a thick deposit of garden soil which had been given a preliminary date of the 18th century. The garden soil overlay several deposits of alluvium from which Roman and medieval posttery was recovered. In the south-west of the trench the alluvium overlay a north-south aligned stream channel which truncated the peat. Earlier alluvial deposits were identified beneath the peat which overlay the natural sand. [Au] |
