Abstract: |
The archaeological evaluation of geotechnical investigations, consisting of test pits, window samples and boreholes, demonstrated that stratified archaeological deposits dating to the Roman and post-medieval periods survive in situ in the north, south and west of the site at heights ranging between c.11.10m OD - c.11.70m OD (as extrapolated from Engineer Drawing 3170-SK01-T3). The archaeological evaluation demonstrated that a sequence of late 1st/2nd century brickearth floor surfaces are present in the west of the site and deeply cut features of early 2nd century date exist in the north and south. In the east of the site an early 18th century burnt horizon overlay a sequence of deposits which may be archaeological in nature. A natural brickearth horizon, overlying natural gravel, is present at heights ranging between 11.00m OD and 10.37m OD. |
