Five trenches, eighty five metres in total length by 2 metres in width were excavated in preparation for the development of residential properties The natural brick earth, a mid orange clay with frequent chalk and flint nodules, was encountered at the lowest point at 8.545 metres OD to the south-east of the site (Trench 5) and at the highest point at 8.75 metres OD to the north-east of the site (Trench 2). A layer of made ground overlay the subsoil and natural in all five trenches, demonstrating the extent of construction that has taken place across the site.
