Abstract: |
The investigation comprised the excavation of a single hand dug archaeological trial trench. Hand-augering within the base of the trench revealed a sequence of natural deposits that started with natural gravel at a height of -2.07m OD overlain by alluvium, at a height of -0.42m OD, which was in turn sealed by a mixture of peat and sandy clay, at a height of -0.22m OD, and finally by slightly alluvial sandy silt at a height of +0.33m OD. The evaluation revealed limited modern impact on the buried deposits away from the walls of the current building. Archaeological activity within the trench appeared to commence with the reclamation of the marshland in the 17th century followed by a series of intercutting and overlapping features including a possible construction cut, a brick and pan-tile drain and a yard surface dating from the 17th-18th centuries. These features were succeeded by 19thcentury foundations and made ground deposits, and finally by the current building itself. |
