Abstract: |
Six trenches (71m of 1.8m) were opened in advance of proposed development. Four of the six trenches revealed extensive post-medieval disturbance, mainly resulting from the gravel extraction that was widespread in the Chesterton area, but trenches one and four revealed earlier features of undetermined date. Although this suggested that at least two areas of archaeological interest survived intact, it was likely that repeated quarrying activity had truncated the natural gravel over a large proportion of the site to a depth beyond which archaeology might have survived.
