Abstract: |
No archaeological features were identified during the course of the watching brief. No finds were recovered from either the topsoil or the top of the natural clays which, in conjunction with the stratigraphic sequence of a thin turf and topsoil, (with no evidence for a subsoil or any agricultural activity) clearly indicates that the site had previously been stripped to the top of the natural clays. This activity is likely to have taken place during the construction of the overflow car park, although it is also possible that soils were removed from the site during the construction of the adjacent bypass. No information was available as to levels of potential truncation, but it is unlikely that any former site stripping works would have penetrated deeply into the natural clays. |
