Abstract: |
The evaluation comprised the machine excavation of a single trench in land currently occupied by the garden and car parking area of 12 King Stairs Close. The trench was excavated to a depth of 1.80m below ground level. The earliest deposits identified were the result of land reclamation activity in the 19th century. A wall and associated paved floor overlying the reclamation deposits are likely to represent the remnants of the previous land use; that of a 19th century warehouse, possibly Yarley's Granary or Sufferance Wharf. Overlying this structure were demolition deposits and a substantial 20th century concrete slab. A borehole excavated in close proximity to the trench revealed that alluvial clay lies approximately 4.50m below ground level, the natural gravels being approximately 5.10m below ground surface. It is therefore possible that archaeological deposits are preserved either cutting the alluvium or below it. |
