Abstract:
Watching brief during preliminary groundworks for the construction of new residential houses and flats, carried out as a condition of planning consent. Over 800 sq. m was monitored during machine stripping to the level of the natural silty clay Head but no archaeological features or finds were recorded. The original soil profile had been largely or entirely removed, evidently during initial development of the site in the early-mid 1960s. Construction of the associated buildings had removed all local deposits and cut into the underlying natural. Elsewhere the sequence was quite straightforward, with either disturbed material left by recent demolition or a shallow imported topsoil overlying presumed 1960s made ground. This in turn overlay either a truncated subsoil grading into weathered natural, or more commonly was directly over the undisturbed Head.
