Abstract: |
Monitoring was carried out on groundworks for a new block of flats following an earlier trial-trenching evaluation in 1999, which recorded medieval and post-medieval pits at a depth of over 1m. A change in foundation design to shallow ground-beams suppotred on piles led to a reduction in the archaeological requirement from full excavation to monitoring. The monitoring confirmed that most of the groundworks did not penetrate to archaeological levels, although the deeper eastern foundation trench exposed the tops of one medieval and two post-medieval pits originally identified in the evaluation trenching. Medieval features otherwise survive intact benath the new building, and it is estimated that disturbance by piling is limited to 4% of the total area of the building. |
