Abstract: |
Archaeological investigations were carried out, which consisted of an earthwork survey, auger survey and evaluation trenches. The evaluation revealed evidence of modern dumping, in some cases up to 4m deep. The underlying natural gravels were encountered at 10-11 m O.D. No sign of the Roman road, thought to have run through Millgate Field, was found. It more probably followed the high ground currently occupied by Millgate. There was no evidence for any Anglo-Saxon burials or of the Civil War defences in the northern half of the proposed development site. The only features identified were the degraded remains of 18-19th century garden landscaping at the south-east corner of Millgate Field. [Au(abr)] |
