Abstract: |
An evaluation of this site was conducted by John Moore Heritage Services from 7th-8th January 2003. Three trenches were excavated, totalling 20 metres in length, to reveal the underlying greensand geology at a maximum height of 99.47m. Two north-south ditches, cut into the underlying natural deposits, were encountered to the east of the proposed development area (Trench 1). To the north and west (Trench 2) excavation revealed a probable infilled extension to a scheduled medieval moat that lies to the south of the area of investigation. To the far west in Trench 3 no archaeological deposits were encountered. The subsoil of the site was seen to seal the features in Trench 1 and the natural deposits in Trench 3. This was in turn sealed by a potential yard surface composed of rammed chalk cobbles, which was seen to directly seal the moat sequence revealed in Trench 2 but noticeably absent from Trench 3. Modern concrete capped the sequences in Trenches 1 and 2, whereas topsoil and turf sealed the sequence in Trench 3. |
