Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services concluded an archaeological evaluation in advance of the construction of a new development. One trench, totalling approximately 8 metres in length, and two test pits, measuring 1.5m², were excavated to the underlying natural geology. Seven features were revealed in the trench comprising of two pits, two gullies, a ditch and one posthole; all were sealed by the subsoil and topsoil. Only one pit: [010]/fill (011) contained a piece of post-medieval handmade brick. All the other features were undated. Two test pits were excavated to the front and rear of the property, and the soil from them sieved using a 10mm mesh in order to assess the potential for the presence of prehistoric flint. No flint finds were recovered. A single, undated gully was present in Test Pit 2 to the front of the property. |
