Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out by Archaeology South East to the rear of The Brading Experience, Brading High Street, Isle of Wight between 10th and 12st May 2010 for Aceport Property Limited. Three archaeological trial trenches were excavated to a cumulative length of 43m in advance of proposed redevelopment of the site. A single mid 16th to mid 17th century pit was encountered in Trench 1 and post-medieval stratigraphy and surviving layers of buried Neolithic/Early Bronze Age soil containing organic materials and worked flints were recorded in all trenches. All of the trenches revealed a notable dearth of any medieval horizon though medieval finds were founds residually. Modern intrusion was only found in the eastern end of Trench 3 where two service pipes were present. The natural clay geology was encountered at a maximum height of 1.35m below ground level at 6.9m AOD in the north of the site, falling away sharply to a depth of 2.4m at 2.63m AOD to the south. |
