Abstract: |
A watching brief was conducted by John Moore Heritage Services on 14thth May 2003 during the excavation of foundation trenches in advance of the redevelopment of the site. This trenching revealed natural terrace gravels at a maximum height of 22.61m OD, sloping down to the river to a height of 22.13m OD. A deposit of sand and pea grit marked the interface of the terrace gravels with the overlying subsoil, which was in turn sealed by a levelling layer of made ground. Topsoil sealed the entire sequence. A large pit cut into the subsoil and backfilled with modern demolition material constituted the only cultural remains on the site and the archaeological potential of the site and its immediate environs is thus deemed to be very low. |
