Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation was carried out on 30th-31st July 2018 at the site of the Horseshoe Public House. The fieldwork involved the excavation of three rectangular trial trenches. The recorded stratigraphy in each trench presents a relatively straightforward example of a mid-late 19th century 'backyard' domestic sequence: A series of mid-late 19th century brick wall footings and drainage features associated with either the original pub build or the structures immediately adjacent to it. These were eventually sealed by a single modern layer of dumped demolition rubble. The geology was encountered at 1.10m below ground surface (43.38mOD) in Trench 1, 1.10m below ground surface (43.49mOD) in Trench 2, and 0.74m below ground surface (43.68mOD) in Trench 3. It is not considered that any further archaeological mitigation needs to be undertaken on this site. |
