Abstract:
An archaeological evaluation comprising a 2% programme of trial trenching was undertaken at St. Thomas Drive in response for a proposal for residential development. The evaluation identified a buried soil and drainage ditches of 2nd/3rd Romano-British century date overlain by marine flood deposits. These features probably represented the western limits of a small settlement located in the area now occupied by St. Thomas Drive. The presence of cereal grains, chaff and weed seeds within the ditch fills showed that burnt cereal processing waste was being deposited, indicating that the area was suitable for arable agriculture. No later features were revealed by the evaluation other than the 20th century date. The only medieval pottery discovered was part of a manuring scatter. [Au(abr)]
