Abstract: |
Work on the excavation of trial pits, window samples and cable percussion boreholes were monitored prior to redevelopment of the former of a school buildings and sports ground to residential use. Localised archaeological deposits were recorded in window samples and boreholes on the site. Natural ground (sand and gravel) was observed at 31m OD at the north-east of the site and at 29m OD (colluvium) at the south of the site, and the highest survival of archaeological deposits occurred at c 30.20m OD in the area of window sample 6 at the east of the site. This deposit was notably less disturbed than other deposits on the site and contained pottery dated to the Saxon or Iron Age and its depth suggests that may be a feature rather than general subsoil encountered in other areas of the site. Limited evidence of post-medieval agricultural activity was suggested by the deposit recorded at the south-east of the site which appeared to be a reworked ploughsoil or subsoil that contained sherds of post-medieval pottery and residual Late Bronze Age pottery. |
