Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on the excavation of a single trench during work to replace a broken drain close to the main entrance of Gray's Court. Modern service trenches had damaged or destroyed much of the stratigraphy to a depth of 2m or more below the modern ground level. Dumps and build-up deposits, possibly associated with post-medieval building activities were recorded, as were possible post-medieval garden soils. In the lower part of the northern corner of the trench there was a thick deposit of clean dark loam, possibly of Anglo-Scandinavian or medieval date, and thought also to be an accumulation of garden soils despite the proximity to the main entrance. There was no evidence for features or structures other than those of modern date. [Au(abr)] |
