Abstract: |
The evaluation and watching brief was carried out in the forecourt of the Hartwell Smithfield Garage. The site had been identified as part of a zone of potential archaeological survival, and development of the site for a car showroom was likely to affect below-ground archaeological remains, including those from medieval and later settlement and industry. Trial trenching (two trial trenches) showed discrete survival of medieval pits in Trench 1, at a depth of 1.04m below the modern concrete surface. The remainder of the recorded deposits and features consisted of 19th century cellars, which had been backfilled in the 20th century, and of services and their associated trenches. Despite major truncation of earlier deposits by cellaring, these further archaeological investigations demonstrated the survival of 'islands' of archaeological deposits and features. [Au] |
