Abstract: |
An archaeological investigation and recording were undertaken during the excavation of three trial trenches at the rear of the property of 3 Tanner Street, prior to the construction of the new extension. The fieldwork was undertaken by Compass Archaeology on the 27th August 2015. This uncovered very few archaeological finds and features. None of the finds, features or deposits predate 19th century. The yellow and red brick structures were observed which probably formed a part of a drain. The structures cut into a fill of the trenches. The general fill of the trenches was a very moist dark grey brown clayey silt with inclusions of yellow sandy construction gravel, whole and fragmented modern day bricks and crushed CBM. The mixed fill was coming down onto the damp dark grey brown clay at the base of the trenches which had no inclusions or finds. On the level of approximately 0.40m above the trenches base there was a concentration of roots visible along sections. The trenches were excavated to maximum depth of 0.96m. The examined deposits and features appear to relate to construction processes on this site over the course of 19th and 20th centuries. The fill of the trial trenches was most likely a make-up layer redeposited in the pre-existing pit/pits in order to level up or build up the ground for subsequent development. |
