Abstract: |
One evaluation trench was excavated upon the site, in advance of redevelopment of the land to create a swimming pool. The single trench was excavated to naturally occurring deposits. This was identified as consisting of mottled blue and yellow-orange clay, the same as identified during previous geotechnical investigations across the site. The only anthropogenic feature observed in the trench was a shallow linear gulley that extended on an approximate north to south alignment. This was seen cut into the natural clay and excavation of its fill uncovered a single shard of post-medieval glass. This feature and the clay were in turn sealed by a sequence of silty-clay deposits that contained fragments of charcoal, ceramic building material and mortar, which in turn were sealed by a combination of topsoil and demolition rubble. No other archaeological finds, features or deposits were observed. |
