Abstract: |
The design for Area 5 comprised a long 30m trench across much of the QMC Car Park West and spanning the former line of the River Leen. Unfortunately, the presence of services, a buried fuel tank and contaminated ground prevented the cutting of the trench in this location. The revised trench was cut just to the west of Trenches 01-03 in B6 Area 4 (LPE). Beneath a metre of modern overburden alluvial deposits thickening to the west overlay river terrace deposits similar to those seen in Area 4 (LPE). Two ditches were observed running approximately north-south, one sealed by alluvium and presumed to be medieval in date, and one cut into the alluvium and containing post-medieval pottery. Collapsing sections, deep deposits and heavy rain and flooding made entering the trench dangerous and cleaning the trench very hazardous. |
