Abstract: |
Following an archaeological watching brief and archaeological evaluation of this site in September a mitigation watching brief took place. It consisted of the monitoring of pile probing in various areas of the site with particular emphasis being placed on the northern side of the site where a basement was due to be constructed. The works revealed a sequence of natural sands and gravels sealed by a cap of naturally deposited brickearth which, in places, showed clear evidence of having been quarried out during the post-medieval period. In places there was evidence for some survival of alluvial marshland deposits presumably where brickearth quarrying had been less intrusive. The brick earth was sealed by a deposit of early post medieval made ground followed by subsequent layers of 18th and 19th century made ground. |
