Abstract: |
Two evaluation trenches were excavated. Both contained natural terrace gravels beneath an alluvial sequence fining up from clayey sand to sandy clay. Within these were gravel spreads and overbank deposits (which included washed-in fire-cracked flint). Above these deposits, the trench on the W side of the site contained 19th century coal ash, nightsoil, and dumping cut by a Victorian concrete foundation while that on the E side revealed a similar sequence, but cut instead by two 19th-century pits containing cessy fill, pottery and clay tobacco pipe. Modern concrete completed the sequence in both trenches. |
