Abstract: |
The evaluation found evidence of natural clay and brickearth layers in all areas of investigation, however, whilst an undated subsoil horizon was recorded in on evaluation trench the horizon did not exist elsewhere suggesting the majority of the site has been subject to widescale horizontal truncation during the construction of the Royal Military Academy in the 19th century. Whilst the absence of pre-19th century archaeological features may be a consequence of this extensive truncation, the lack of residual material dating to the prehistoric, Roman, Saxon, medieval and earlier post-medieval periods strongly suggests that the site was not utilised prior to the early 19th century. |
