Abstract: |
The archaeological evaluation demonstrated that naturally deposited sands and gravels are present on site at a height of 0.63m AOD, however the natural deposits had suffered significant truncation and the heights are not considered reflective of the natural horizon. No evidence of prehistoric activity was recorded during the archaeological evaluation, however a large cut feature containing Roman pottery was recorded in the western part of Trench 1. In addition, a pit containing 13th/14th century pottery was recorded in the western part of the trench, whilst two pits containing late medieval/early post-medieval pottery were recorded at the trenches northern extent. In addition, a large post-medieval ditch or quarry pit which contained a number of fills, the latest of which produced pottery dated to the late 17th century, was recorded in the eastern part of the trench. The remainder of the deposits encountered during the evaluation comprised an isolated area of 19th century truncation along the south-west trench edge, 20th century made ground deposits and 20th/21st century concrete surfaces. Whilst the intrusive activity has had some impact on the underlying archaeological horizons, post-depositional disturbance can be largely considered as minimal. |
