Abstract: |
Between the 15th and 17th of June 2016 Compass Archaeology conducted an archaeological evaluation at 107-109 Ivydale Road. The works were undertaken as a pre-determination exercise as part of the planning process for the redevelopment of the site. Two trial trenches were dug, trench 1 measuring 8m NE-SW by 1.8m NW-SE. Trench 2 had to be dug in two parts due to the uncovering of a manhole; 2a was 2.86m NE-SW by 1.46m NW-SE whilst trench 2b was 6.86m NE-SW by 1.7m NW-SE. Only evidence for the post-medieval development of the site was found. This took the form of two yellow stock brick walls, [109] in trench 1 and [214] in trench 2b. These relate to the domestic residential usage of the land, specifically the terrace houses built on the site in the period between 1872-1894. In trench 1 the top of wall [109] was encountered at a very shallow depth of only 32.68mOD. In trench 2b the top of wall [214] was first encountered at a level of 32.57mOD. The natural geology was characterised as a mid-orangey yellow clay that was first encountered at a level of 32.11mOD at the NE end of trench 1, 31.71mOD in trench 2a and 31.61mOD in trench 2b. This reflects the slight rise in topography on the site from SW-NE. With regards to the next phase of works it is suggested that no archaeological condition be attached to the new development at 107-109 Ivydale Road. |
