Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried during the excavation of two test pits and the erection of a new rear extension. The monitoring of the test pits identified a modern toposil overlying a sequence of three limestone quarry pit fills, two of post-medieval and the third possibly of medieval date. The second test pit was excavated to a depth of 2.2m before the natural horizon of weathered limestone and flint fragments was reached. These excavations yielded one sherd of 18th-19th century pottery and one residual sherd of Roman pottery. The monitoring of the rear extension identified several modern made ground deposits and foundations associated with a previous demolished rear extension. Below this was the uppermost and latest of the quarry pit fills that had already been identified in the nearby test pits. This yielded a second residual sherd of Roman pottery. These quarry pit fills were both substantial in terms of depths and their extent, they were located in the whole of the monitored area. The extent of the actual quarry pit(s) was undertermined. It was anticipated that the postulated line of the Roman Fosse Road might traverse the site. In the event, this probably had already been removed, if its line had crossed the site. |
