| Abstract: |
The watching brief revealed a pit, with a depth of 0.5m that contained a single fill with occasional fragments of c.1690-1800 date Tin Glazed Ware. A 0.6m thick layer of modern demolition material covered the pit. The eastern pit (2m by 1m) contained natural gravel within 0.2m of the surface, sealed by loose modern rubble which contained a residual clay pipe bowl of late spur tipe dating to c.1690-1710. The southern trench (0.75m x 3m) contained natural gravel at 0.5m below the modern surface, sealed by recent demolition material. No deposits or artefacts of Roman date were observed. Previous buildings on the site had clearly truncated earlier ground levels, down to and probably into the natural. The single post-medieval pit may have originally been significantly deeper. [Au] |
