Abstract: |
This report details the results and working methods of an archaeological evaluation undertaken in advance of the development of the site for residential buildings fronting High Street (fig.1). The site is centred at National Grid Reference TQ 248 964. The evaluation consisted of 5 trenches spread over the area of the proposed development. Trenches 1 and 3 were aligned roughly north-south, and were approximately 10m long. Trenches 2,4 and 5 were 20m long and aligned roughly east-west. Maximum depth of excavation was c. 1.4m below ground level. The evaluation found evidence for natural gravels (grading upwards to subsoil) across the steeply inclined site at heights between 125.60m OD and 131.09m OD. Underlying pale clays were exposed in places with heights from 125.05m OD to 131.24m OD. The evaluation found extensive evidence of truncation, disturbance and levelling, in many places removing all or most of the 'original' soil profile. Made ground, frequently with abundant brick and tile fragments was found over most of the site. Only a few archaeological features were present, or have survived, and these are considered to be post-medieval in date, relating to boundaries and outbuildings |
