Abstract: |
An evaluation trench was excavated to the level of the natural river terrace gravels, which may here represent a late Pleistocene/early Holocene course of the Channelsea River. This deposit was overlain by a thin early Holocene dry soil horizon, in turn overlain by an alluvial sequence approximately 0.50m thick. This may have begun to accumulate during the early medieval period, and its upper reaches were dated by pottery and CBM to the 17th to 19th centuries. Thus the site appears to have been dry until the early medieval period, when seasonal flooding resulted in the creation of a semi- or fully permanently waterlogged marsh environment. The sequence was sealed by approximately 2.5m of late 19th century made ground, deposited to form a track bed for the railway system in the area. |
