Abstract: |
Natural head deposits comprising mostly clay but with some gravel areas were identified in all trenches and were overlain by a naturally developed subsoil that had been extensively reworked from the late medieval/early post-medieval period onwards. A number of field drains associated with previous agricultural exploitation of the site were identified, cutting into the subsoil, along with a number of later features associated with drainage for the former football pitch. Preparation of the original football pitch included the laying of a bedding deposit over the subsoil across the site, upon which topsoil was deposited, the top of this providing the level pitch surface. A number of more recent land drains associated with the football pitch were also identified. No archaeological features pre-dating the land drains were identified, though a small number of finds suggested earlier activity in the area, most likely that associated with agricultural exploitation of the surrounding landscape. |
