Abstract: |
During the watching brief no significant deposits or features were observed over most of the site. However, in the south-east corner of the site a small area of higher than anticipated strata had survived and this was the subject of a controlled excavation. The investigations demonstrated that truncated sandy gravel covered the site. In the area of excavation the gravel was truncated by medieval pitting, perhaps for gravel extraction. These pits were themselves truncated by 16th century rubbish pits. [Au(adp)] |
