Abstract: |
A trial pit measuring 2.5m square was excavated. The removal of the basement revealed a substantial brick and concrete footing on the eastern side of the trial pit. The footing extended beyond the limit of the excavation on three sides. To the west of the concrete was a dark grey silty dump deposit c.1m wide which contained frequent bone, charcoal and oyster shell fragments. Pottery, leather, textile and ceramic building material fragments were also present. These had been found to date from the first quarter of the 17th century. This layer was excavated by hand and was found to be approximately 1m thick. The top of this layer was found to be 14.2m OD. Below this layer were natural alluvial silts. The alluvium was encountered at 13.2m OD, which was 4m below ground level. [Au(abr)] |
