Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation consisting of five trenches.The results of the archaeological evaluation indicated that the natural topography of the site, as represented by the heights of naturally deposited sandy silt and silty sand found in all five trenches, had been significantly impacted by development of the site during the 19th and 20th centuries for housing. This conclusion was supported by the natural deposits being sealed by modern made ground with no subsoil or garden soil deposits seen in any of the trenches. No archaeological features or deposits relating to prehistoric, Roman, medieval or early-mid post-medieval deposits were encountered during the archaeological investigation.Structures including wall foundations, concrete slabs, a culvert base and concrete covered services were found in four of the trenches. All of these structures would have related to the 19th and 20th century housing that previously occupied the site. |
