Abstract: |
Between the 15th and 17th of June 2016 Compass Archaeology conducted an archaeological evaluation at 1-8 The Parade, Stafford Road. The works were undertaken as a condition of planning consent for the redevelopment of the site (LB Sutton Planning Ref: D2015/71751/FUL). The evidence for prehistoric activity at the site is in the form of a limited number of worked and burnt flints which were found in all of the test pits except B and J. A single undiagnostic sherd of Roman courseware from test pit E provides the only evidence of Roman activity on the site. Otherwise, no Saxon or medieval remains were recovered.There was evidence of the modern utilisation of the site in the form of the deposits of compact clinker and debris-(101) in trench 1 and (201) in trench 2-seen across the site. The natural geology on the site was a light orange silty sand colluvium, (105) in trench 1 and (205) in trench 2. This was first encountered at a depth of c.490mm below ground level (50.98mOD) in the NNE section of trench 1 and c.520mm below ground level in the eastern section of the trench (50.88mOD). A limited extent of the underlying chalk/solifluction deposit was exposed in pits C and F, first encountered at a level of 50.94mOD and 51.04mOD respectively. In both these pits, a reworked colluvium infilled an associated involution hollow (this was (107) in the case of pit C and (203) in pit F). No further archaeological investigation is required. |
