Abstract: |
The archaeological work was implemented in advance of proposed new-build homes, on the site of the former school, and previously the site of 19th century paint and lacquer works. Major ground works consisted of bulk removal of contaminated materials associated with an historic pond located on the site of paint and lacquer works. The area of the pond was stripped down to c. 1 - 1.4m bellow ground level, and then the more clearly defined contaminated materials were excavated and removed by machine. No archaeological features except for the historic pond and an associated brick drain were encountered. Sub-soil exposed along the flanks of the pond after removal of demolition layers yielded no artefactual evidence and contained no natural features of interest. |
