Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was maintained during groundworks on Churchlands Estate. The Scheme involved ground reduction for the site compound and the replacement of the drainage system on the Churchlands Estate. The compound was stripped of topsoil and occasionally subsoil, to a depth of approximately 150mm. Artefacts, of 17th to 20th century date, including fragments of pottery and clay pipe were found. The trenches for the Churchlands Estate were cut, in the main, through concrete road surfaces. Sheet piling was used to stabilise the trenches, which were excavated to a depth of about 3m. All the excavations cut through marine deposits. Some isolated examples of rolled wood were occasionally noted. No structural remains were found. One possible drainage ditch was recorded. |
