Abstract: |
The archaeological investigation comprised three evaluation trenches (Trench 1 to 3). Trenches 1 and 2 were located in the northwest corner of the site, Trench 3 in the northwest corner of the site. The archaeological evaluation recorded natural brickearth in all 3 evaluation Trenches. In Trench 1 and 2 natural brickearth was recorded at 7.38m OD and 7.64m OD respectively. In Trench 3 natural brickearth was recorded at 5.22m OD. Archaeological evidence of Roman activity was recorded in Trench 2 where the base of the cut for a keyhole-shaped oven was observed. Pottery dating to the Roman period was recovered from the fill of this feature. Archaeological evidence of post-medieval horticultural deposits were recorded in all three evaluation Trenches. Pottery dating to the post-medieval period was recovered. Masonry foundations were observed in Trenches 2 and 3. These are associated with the later development of the site when it became increasingly developed with terrace housing. |
