Abstract: |
The monitoring of approximately 50m of cable trench, excavation of three test pits and reduction of a ground area uncovered a compact red clay and crushed brick slipway depicted in the 1924 OS map. This may also be shown on the 1881 OS map. The foundations were dug into a compact gravel layer through a relict topsoil layer. The gravel layer was part of a natural riverine bank. Later the slipway was filled in with destruction debris and gravel. The groundworks also revealed layers from post-1605 landscaping within the rivercourse. |
