Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation at the site comprised three evaluation trenches (Trenches 1 to 3) excavated outside the footprint of the existing warehouse buildings on site. The earliest deposit uncovered consisted of truncated natural deposits encountered in all evaluation trenches. To the east, the site sequence comprised sand and gravels at levels between 10.19m OD and 9.93m OD, overlain by a deposit of brickearth, the top of which was recorded between 10.70m OD and 10.66m OD. On the southwest area of the site a deposit of brickearth was encountered at between 10.87m OD and 10.82m OD. One single cut feature, recorded in Trench 2 to the eastern side of the site, was uncovered during the archaeological investigation. Its fill contained a single sherd of pottery dating to the Roman period. This archaeological feature cut the natural deposits. A post-medieval deposit interpreted as levelling/made ground associated with the construction of the existing warehouse building was observed in Trenches 1 to 3. Modern truncation and made ground deposits for the existing concrete surface sealed the post-medieval levelling layer. |
