Abstract: |
Seven archaeological trenches were excavated around the footprint of eight proposed buildings within the land plot adjacent to East Drive avoiding the borehole pipes present and visible above ground. The evaluation showed that early 20th century terracing of the site had severely truncated the archaeological horizon, down to the natural geology in most places. One small rubbish pit, probably of post-medieval date was located in the southeast of the site and one geological anomaly of a natural hollow or geological variation was recorded. Elsewhere, the natural Thanet Beds were exposed once the layers of modern re-deposited soil and made ground had been removed. |
