Abstract:		 An excavation, to the depth of the specified impact level of development, was undertaken in the area, 2.7m by 1.9m, of the new lift pit in response to a condition upon planning permission. Two bore holes were also excavated in the trench using an auger to establish the depth of natural gravel. Two wattle-lined pits were revealed, the first contained a small ceramic asesmblage dating to the early medieval period, c. 1000-1150, the second, pottery 1080-1150. Both the pits cut through two deposits, the top one was interpreted as medieval dumping or make-up, possibly associated with land drainage measures. This deposit contained residual Roman pottery and a small assemblage dated to the early medieval period, c.1080-1159. The deposit below this was a silty clay which contained occasional gravel pebbles and occupational evidence such as oyster shell fragments. This could have been another medieval deposit, possibly used as a bank for drainage or flood reduction, however, a small ceramic assemblage from this context was dated to the late Roman period, c 250-400, and the deposit may have been contemporary in spite of the somewhat mixed pottery types. The auger survey produced information about the deposits and sediments below the level of excavation. The bottom two sediments in the sequence were interpreted as being the remains of a natural stream which, during the Roman period, was backfilled and settled over. [Au(adp)]
