Abstract: |
The watching brief comprised observation of the digging of eleven geotechnical trial pits up to approximately 4.50m deep. The earliest deposits encountered comprised natural sandstone, degraded in parts, and sandy clay. These deposits were observed in the centre and east of the site where the area had been terraced in the 19th century. The trial pits located in the west and south of the site, contained thick deposits of 19th century made-ground which had been dumped to level up the ground surface to the same height as the terraced natural. The above deposits were sealed by 19th/20th century made ground which was, in turn, sealed by the current asphalt carpark surface. |
