Abstract: |
The archaeological monitoring of the groundworks pertaining to the construction of three new residential dwellings identified a simple deposit sequence which consisted of a modern made ground deposit, a second made ground deposit underlying this which included at least three phases of farmyard surfaces within its make-up, a buried soil horizon and an underlying natural horizon of sands. This deposit sequence was recorded within a total of six representative sections. The second made ground deposit showed evidence of three phases of former farmyard surfaces which included a layer of red scalpings, a layer of tarmac and an underlying layer of compacted brick and mortar rubble. This second made ground deposit appeared to deepen and to become more substantial to the south. This corresponded to a decrease in ground levels to the south and it is suggested that this second made ground deposit had been laid down in order to build up ground levels in the southern part of this site. The buried soil horizon was a clean and a homogeneous deposit, but was devoid of any finds. This is interpreted as a buried ploughsoil horizon, though undated. No archaeological activity or finds which could be associated with the medieval and the post-medieval settlements of Lea or with the former parks and gardens associated with Lea Hall were found. |
