Abstract: |
A watching brief was maintained on 16 November 2018 during the soil strip for a new house. The topsoil was 0.4-0.5m deep and the subsoil reddish brown sand in the S of the watching brief area and stoney sandy clay in the N area. On the higher ground at the S of the trench two archaeological features were uncovered, an oval pit (F1) and a post-hole (F2). F1 was 0.85 x 0.5m in size and filled the grey loam and charcoal. F2 was 0.5m diameter and filled with grey loam and charcoal. The archaeological pit and post-hole were determined to be in the garden area of the new house under a new decking area. They are to be covered with geotextile and hardcore which will then not be removed after the end of the build. No further archaeological mitigation is therefore required (Claire Herbert pers comm). |
