Abstract: |
An evaluation comprising of a single trench which recorded natural terrace gravel at 10.33m OD, approximately 3.8m below ground level. Considerable modern truncation was recorded across the evaluation trench; a large modern intrusion was located throughout the eastern half which truncated all deposits below the depth of the natural gravel. The western half of the trench was disturbed by the presence of a large modern manhole chamber and its associated construction cut, which truncated all deposits to the top of the natural gravel. The evaluation did record, however, a small area of undisturbed archaeological deposits. Located in the southern central area of the trench, the surviving archaeological sequence measured only 2.5m in length by 0.50m in width. This sequence consisted of two undated deposits which possibly represent garden or plough soil horizons, or potentially the fill of an unidentified deep feature such as a pit. The undated deposits were sealed by another two post-medieval layers which may be later dumping or garden soil. This small area of undated stratigraphy represented the only archaeological survival within the trench. |
