Abstract: |
An archaeological test trench located to the rear of the war memorial, a structure initially built in the 1920s. The principle purpose of the test trench was to determine the presence or absence of grave cuts prior to the installation of a French drain to prevent further damage to the monument caused by damp penetration. Investigation of the wall construction cut would also provide information for the conservation assessment. No grave cuts were present within the boundaries of the test trench, rather the test trench revealed the presence of three disused planter beds and the construction cut for the screen wall of the war memorial truncating naturally deposited clay. |
