Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken on geotechnical trial holes. The watching brief was required to record any archaeological remains or deposits encountered during the excavation of test pits on the site, prior to the extraction of boreholes, and excavation of two trial pits. Five test pits were excavated in total, two of which were identified by the South Yorkshire Archaeology Service as being located in an area of moderate/high archaeological potential, located at the southern end of the site. The remaining three boreholes were located towards the northern end of the site, in an area considered to be of low archaeological potential. No archaeological features or deposits were encountered in any of the borehole test pits, although the test pit 1 in the southern area of the site did display evidence of demolition and disturbance. Trial pit 1, located on the east edge of the area of moderate to high archaeological potential, exposed remains of a land drain constructed from 18th century bricks. |
