Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation comprised of a 10% trenching sample was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group on the site of a proposed community centre, car park and play area. The site was found to be much altered with in excess of a metre of madeground present across the entire site. A uniform stratigraphy present in each trench suggesting a concerted and deliberate attempt to raise the ground level and create a flatter site. Within the madeground of redeposited clays and a cinder /ash layer were noted 19th and 20th Century white glazed ceramic and glass sherds. Below this madeground were found the basal courses of two unmortared, undated sandstone walls. |
