Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a residential development. A previous desk top study had identified a potential for prehistoric and Roman deposits, and for an 11th century canal. Peat, alluvium and possible waterlogged wood had been noted at the site in a geotechnical survey. During the evaluation, post-medieval timber and pitch floors were found which probably represented structures present on maps of 1726 and 1800. Two pieces of cut and worked whale bone were recovered, and palaeoenvironmental samples were removed for analysis. It was concluded that further structures and yards dating from the 18th century could be present in the vicinity of the remains identified. [AIP] |
