Abstract:
A structure and deposit encountered in Trench 1 must be the surviving traces of a fairly substantial wall, orientated north to south. The structural remains encountered in Trench 2 are likely to be the poorly preserved and potentially robbed out continuation of this same wall. No such wall is shown on the maps studied during the research phase of this project, the earliest of which dated to 1611, so it may be that the wall predates this. The deposits encountered in Trench 3 may be silting deposits within a former pond. The overlying orange sand deposit is likely to be a levelling deposit, deliberately spread to provide a flat area for the playing field. This may also explain the lack of a subsoil in this trench, though one was observed in Trenches 1 and 2. Like the wall, however, no pond is known on the maps encountered during the research. The presence of a former ropery in the vicinity may account for both the wall and pond. The presence of a substantial wall of unknown function or origin, but perhaps predating 1611, and possible former pond, are of archaeological interest, but would not warrant a historic asset significance of greater than local significance. Their locations have been recorded during the archaeological evaluation. It is possible that further related features may be encountered during groundworks associated with the proposed development.
