| Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken in conjunction with the execution of groundworks in advance of redevelopment. The groundworks consisted of two trenches for a crane base, a wall foundation trench, a drain, and foundation trenches and a lift pit for the buildings to be constructed on the site. The natural deposits proved to have been less affected by modern truncation than anticipated, with the stratigraphic sequence existing from the natural brickearth across 50 percent of the site. However, no archaeological features were observed in this horizon. Limited evidence for prehistoric activity in the vicinity of the site was observed in the form of several pieces of possibly struck flint. No evidence of settlement or occupation was encountered, however, and no potential environmental horizons were identified. Possible foundations for Ilford Lodge (a house that occupied the site prior to the construction of the car park) were observed, but the extent of survival of this structure was negligible.
