Abstract: |
Three evaluation trenches were excavated (Trenches 1, 2 and 3) up to 1.81m below current ground level. Natural brickearth was recorded in two of the evaluation trenches (Trenches 1 and 3) but no gravel deposits were exposed. The evaluation confirmed the results of previous archaeological investigations at the Estate which showed a natural topography, consisting of terrace gravel topped by natural brickearth, which sloped from the north of the estate downwards to the south. Natural brickearth was recorded in Trenches 1 and 3 at 2.73m OD and 2.37m OD in the north and south part of the site respectively.The natural brickearth was overlaid by a sequence of post-medieval and later deposits which were in turn truncated by a large modern reinforced concrete building located in the western half of the site.No archaeological deposits dating between the prehistoric and medieval period were observed during the evaluation. |
