Abstract: |
The results of an archaeological excavation of the footprint for a domestic extension to the rear of No.12 Uplands Avenue, Caister-on-Sea (Planning Ref: 06/12/0317). This was commuted to archaeological monitoring following initial works in consultation and with the agreement of James Albone of the Historic Environment Service. Previous archaeological mitigation work at two locations within 50m of No.12 have discovered significant archaeological deposits, including features associated with the Roman fort, Saxon burials and both Saxon and medieval pits. Both cartographic evidence and the results of the monitoring work indicate that No.12 Uplands Avenue is sited on the former location of a sunken garden with tennis courts associated with the former early 20th century Uplands House. The tennis courts appear to have been in-filled with a mix of material, which includes imported estuarine clays and large quantities of 1960s rubbish. No archaeologically significant features were encountered, although a small number of residual Romano-British pottery sherds were collected during the groundwork, along with three prehistoric flints - including a side-scraper of Late Neolithic to Bronze Age date. |
