Abstract: |
The investigation involved the excavation of two trial trenches designed to assess the presence or absence of archaeological remains at the site, and the potential impact of the development on any remains which may be present. Natural foreshore estuarine material was seen in both trenches, overlain in Trench 1 by a clean and sterile sand. Demolition debris found within Trench 2 may attest to the construction of a jetty associated with the timber ponds visible on the 1st edition OS map from 1875. Subsequent archaeological evidence was entirely 20th century / modern in date, and related to the construction of the podium for the Parcelforce depot. Limited evidence for truncation to underlying deposits was seen, although the evidence from the geotechnical site works implies severe localised truncation. No archaeological finds or features relating to any period pre-dating the late post-medieval/ modern periods were identified during this evaluation and consequently no further work is considered to be necessary. |
