Abstract: |
The evaluation consisted of one trench located to the rear of the Seven Stars Public House, designed to investigate the site's archaeological potential in advance of construction work. The earliest deposit encountered was an undated layer of silty slay containing fragments of ceramic building material and recorded at 3.6m BGL, 11.20m OD. This was overlain by thick deposits of undated made ground which may be filling quarry pits from the local brick industry in the early post-medieval period. This possible activity was sealed by an 18th century horizon of soil and a drain, a remnant of the contemporary development of the area. No evidence for human burials were recorded at the site. A single piece of human humerus was found, although this was disarticulated and within a heavily disturbed context. The maximum depth reached by the evaluation was below the level at which in situ brickearth deposits may be expected in the area. |
