| Abstract: |
Four trial trenches were excavated in advance of the proposed development of the site. The excavation demonstrated that at least in the area of the trenches no significant archaeological deposits had survived. It had revealed, however, that there was a natural slope running from north to south across the site, with a highest level for natural ground being located in Trench 4 (north) of 1.74m OD, and a lowest level located in Trench 1 (south) of 1.28m OD. Trenches 1 and 2 revealed that 20th century ground raising deposits had been lain down at the south of the site in order to level the slope of the area for its present purpose as a playing field. No medieval, Roman or pre-historic features or deposits were unearthed, and the potential for significant archaeological remains from these eras surviving in other parts of the site was considered very low. As a result there were no recommendations for further work. [Au(adp)] |
