Abstract:		 Natural sandy gravel was recorded across the site, demonstrating that the site is situated above the southern bank of a large E-W orientated river channel. Evidence of post-medieval horizontal truncation was observed in the southern area of the site where the higher terrace gravel was sealed by post-medieval deposits interpreted as consolidation layers. Except for one fragment of Roman tegula recovered from the basal fill of the river channel no evidence of Roman activity was observed. Post-medieval terracing in the southern area of the site had probably truncated all potentially earlier deposits. Only two finds dating to the medieval period were recovered during the archaeological investigation; both finds were interpreted as residual within post-medieval deposits interpreted as consolidation layers. No archaeological evidence of medieval activity was observed. However, it is possible that the river channel was active during the medieval period as a fragment of medieval abraded peg tile dated AD 1330 to 1390 was found within the alluvial infill. Evidence of structural development in the form of walls and a culvert, dating from the 18th - 19th centuries, was found in the northern half of the site. These remains can be reconciled to the Horwood map of 1819. Further structural evidence was found for the construction of properties dating to the late 19th and 20th centuries, some of which (particularly at the southern edge of the site) had sub-basement levels which had truncated lower deposits. These buildings can be reconciled to OS maps of the time, and also allow the supposition that the E-W wall found in Trench 4 represents the Municipal Boundary which is shown on maps from the late 18th to 20th centuries in the same position.
