Abstract: |
A trial trench evaluation was carried out of 3-9 Duff Street as part of the planning condition for a re-development of the site. The old buildings had all been demolished and the ground levelled prior to the evaluation. The evaluation comprised 3 trial trenches totalling 100m in length. In the trench to the west a layer of undisturbed garden soil 0.5m to 0.9m deep was uncovered. The two trenches to the east comprised demolition deposits straight on top of natural sand and gravels. The eastern part of the site had been disturbed by the construction and demolition of buildings. However deepened garden soil developed when the area was used as allotments during the first half of the 19th century was found in the trench to the west. This indicates that the western end of the site remained largely untouched by the late 19th century industrial development in this area. One shallow cut was uncovered in the trench to the west, probably linked to the 19th century horticultural activity in the area. M Dalland 2013. |
