Abstract: |
Four trenches were excavated during the evaluation. All areas of archaeological interest within the site were sealed by a hallow slab of concrete and tarmac at the time of excavation, the remaining portions being occupied by the foundations of demolished or extant 20th century buildings.The earliest deposit encountered consisted of natural coarse sand and gravel overlaid by natural brickearth. This was sealed, in Trench 4, by a late post-medieval shallow layer which was also observed in Trench 3. A large sub-circular posthole for two timber post was identified in Trench 4, truncating the late post-medieval layer. The natural coarse sandy gravel was sealed by re-deposited late post-medieval in Trenches 1 and 2. |
