Abstract: |
Overlying the natural gravels, which occurred at c. 0.9m below current ground level, was gravelly subsoil. This was truncated by probable ground reduction in the area to the south of the trenches, with the excavated hollow subsequently backfilled with redeposited gravel, soil, broken roof tiles, mortar and fragments of brick; clay pipe stem, late post-medieval or modern bottle glass and three sherds of late 18th/early 19th-century pottery were recovered from these deposits. The northern edge of this area of probable ground reduction and made-up ground, which was aligned north-west to south-east, was encountered in Trench 1 and possibly at the extreme southern end of Trench 2. It was sealed by topsoil and a layer of modern made-ground that had been laid as a base for the concrete and tarmac surface of the car park. |
