Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring of geotechnical pits and trial trench evaluation. The latter comprised four linear trenches 1.6m wide and 9-15m long and two rectangular pits c. 5x5m in size. The evaluation revealed a small pit containing early Iron Age pottery in Trench 6 to the rear of the site. Two parallel possible Roman ditches were excavated in Trench 1, close to the Barton Road street frontage. Trenches 2, 4 and 5 did not contain any archaeological features. Trench 5 revealed a rubbish pit, which contained several 19th-century ceramic toothpaste, anchovy paste and bear grease pot lids and glass bottles, possibly related to occupation of no. 27 Barton Road. A small 20th-century brick structure was also excavated in Trench 5, most likely associated with the houses at Croft Gardens. |
