Abstract: |
Four trenches were excavated within those parts of the site identified to have been least impacted by its past terracing and development as the builders yard. This evaluation established that at least a moderate degree of truncation and disturbance affected the whole site. Below a layer of rubble make-up, a small quantity of archaeological features were found cutting into the remnant subsoil below, in Trenches 1 and 4 only. A post-medieval ditch, possibly marking a boundary along the road frontage, was found in the northwest of the site, along with an undated post-hole or small pit. The ditch contained cow and horse remains in its fill, some of which appeared to be articulated. Brick and tile from the ditch fill indicate a likely 18th century date. Modern pits were encountered in the southern part of the site. No archaeological remains were found in the trenches within northern and central parts. |
