Abstract: |
Two trial trenches were excavated prior to development. Trench 1 revealed brickearth overlain by a clean sand deposit probably created by running water. A narrow ditch, two small pits and several stakeholes were identified, but were undated. A wide ditch and several pits that dated to the 17th century were also uncovered. Following a period of dumping, that included two whalebones, brick buildings were built along the Three Oak Lane frontage. Two brick wells that had been backfilled in the mid-19th century were also present. In trench 2, a possible pit contained some Late Iron Age/early Roman pottery and a ploughsoil deposit that was cut by a series of parallel slots or gullies, interpreted as bedding trenches. Trench 2 showed severe truncation by the brick and concrete footings of a post-war building. The results did not reflect the level of prehistoric activity observed on the adjacent site in Three Oak Lane. [Au(abr)] |
