Abstract: |
Trent and Peak Archaeology was contracted by Dr. Peter Wardle of The Historic Environment Consultancy so undertake an archaeological evaluation at the former site of The Gardeners public house, St. Ann's, Nottingham, in line with planning conditions relating to proposed residential development. Trenching confirmed that natural deposits were quite close to the surface in the west of the site (c.400mm below the tarmac in places). However, the only features/remains present related to 19th century development of the site (including granite setts along the edge of Kildare Road, which was formerly much wider). Deposits may have been truncated when this road was laid out (or during works associated with the construction of the railway), or there may never have been anything much in this part of the site. In the western part of the site the natural deposits are cut away quite sharplymatching the alignment of the railway embankment and viaduct and this is probably in large part an artificial cut (potentially removing any earlier deposits). To the east there is at least 1.4m of made ground, with disturbed ground considerably deeper in places. The footprint of the former public house stands on a terrace considerably raised above the former car park. Comparison of the levels It is likely that there would be 3m (or more) of made ground in this area and that if anything has survived the construction of the railway here it is likely to remain undisturbed. |
