Abstract: |
The evaluation consisted of a series of test-pits. The results revealed that up to 3 metres depth of archaeological deposits including brick walls and wells probably relating to garden activity of the 17th and 18th centuries were present and were largely untruncated. Furthermore, natural brickearth in one of the test-pits was likely to have been the untruncated ancient ground surface. There was no evidence for Roman land use or quarrying but evidence for medieval quarrying was found in two test-pits. Artefacts of interest included a considerable amount of English tin-glazed ware and rare Chinese porcelain which came from one pit. [AIP] |
