Abstract: |
Planning permission was granted for the erection of a detached double garage within the development area . Given the site's location within an area of archaeological sensitivity, a condition was attached to secure a programme of archaeological works. All groundworks with the potential to impact buried archaeological deposits were monitored.It would appear that the area had undergone landscaping, probably associated with construction of the dwelling. This affected the upper soil profile. However, it would appear that this deposit is the remains of a former ploughsoil. If any archaeological features had been present, they should have been well defined against the underlying deposits. No archaeological features or finds were identified during the observation works. Given the significant discoveries of Palaeolithic implements from the area, recording of the variations in the underlying strata was undertaken. It would appear that the site was close to the south side of the valley, with material derived from the chalk bedrock being identified. The series of deposit which accumulated in the valley contained significant quantities of unworked flint nodules (Clay-with-flints). No worked flints were recovered, despite an extensive search through the excavated soils. The vertical feature identified in the soakaway is considered to be natural feature rather then a man-made shaft. This is similar to the 'pipe' recorded R A Smith (Scott-Jackson 2000 |
