Abstract: |
The evaluation comprised eight trenches and revealed natural Lynch Hill Gravels between 26.85m and 28.15m aOD; the gravels were overlain by natural Langley silts in some areas particularly in the north of the site and lay between 27.37m and 27.81m aOD. Deposits of alluvial clay were recorded in some parts of the site but appeared to have been heavily truncated. A probable palaeochannel lay in the north of the site; this feature is likely to be of natural origin and dating evidence suggests that it infilled naturally over a long period between the Middle Neolithic and Middle Bronze Age. The fills were alluvial and fluvial in nature and indicate that the site lay within a varying yet damp environment, not conducive to human occupation. Despite this, probable structural deposit was seen with a partial Middle Bronze Age vessel retrieved from the upper fills of the palaeochannel. The feature was overlain by modern leveling deposits and road surfaces indicating that the site has undergone severe horizontal truncation from modern developments. This truncation is likely to have removed any possible shallower archaeological features on site. |
