Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation comprising 2 test pits was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology LTD between 17th and 20th January 2017. Test Pit 1 measured 0.8m x 1.2m and had an excavated depth of 4.7m. Test Pit 2 measured 1.05m x 1.0m and had an excavated depth of 3.74m. Natural aluvial sands, silts, gravels and clays were seen at the bottom of the stratigraphic sequence. The first phase of human activity was Roman in nature and comprised layers of made ground. On top of these a section of a Roman clay and timber building comprising a clay floor slab truncated by a pattern of 6 stakeholes, was encountered in Test Pit 2. A medieval soil horizon was noted overlying the Roman deposits in Test Pit 2. A series of post-medieval deposits that pre-dated the 19th century were recorded in both Test pits. A N-S orientated 19th century wall was encountered in Test Pit 1. Deposits of 19th century demolition material and made ground sealed both test pits. |
