Abstract: |
A single trench, Trench 1, excavated as the final part of an archaeological evaluation begun some time previously. The other three evaluation trenches, Trenches 2-4, having been excavated in 2012 and 2013. No natural deposits were encountered within Trench 1. The earliest deposit encountered in the trench was re-deposited clay, potentially the result of brick making in the area or landscaping of the site prior to the construction of railway structures in this part of site in the mid 19th century. The remains of a wall foundation, a concrete floor slab and, possibly, the remnant of an arched structure such as a culvert were identified as elements of the 19th century locomotive shed known as 'Locomotive Cleaning Shed' in Trench 1. 20th century cuts for large service pipes were also recorded within the trench. All features and deposits had been subsequently sealed by nearly 2.5m of modern made ground |
