Abstract: |
Watching brief during redevelopment work of land at the junction of Tollgate Road and Fowler's Hill, Salisbury. This site lies on the lower slopes of Milford Hill which is recognised as a source of Lower Palaeolithic hand axes. In addition this part of the city formed the location of Anglo-Saxon settlement. The watching brief primarily monitored sections in a deep excavation into the natural Chalk. The results established that the Chalk is capped by a veneer of fluvial gravel, which forms the feather edge of terrace deposits. These observations extend the margins of the deposits beyond those mapped by The British Geological Survey. Any traces of possible Anglo-Saxon settlement, if present, will have been removed by former development on the site. No artefacts recovered. |
