Abstract: |
The archaeological evaluation found evidence of archaeological deposits spanning from the second half of the 17th to the early 20th centuries. Of note was a small section of a timber and gravel man-made structure with a possible north-east to south-west orientation positioned in the east bank of a north to south orientated channel which occupied the west part of the site in the 17th century. The earliest cartographic evidence for the presence of a watercourse in the western part of the site is shown on the Rocque map of 1745 whist the latest is shown of the OS map of 1870. The archaeological evaluation recorded a sequence of undated alluvial deposits to a maximum depth of 3.40m below ground level corresponding to 1.13m OD. Natural river terrace gravel was not observed during the evaluation. No masonry structures dated earlier than the 20th century were recorded during the evaluation and there was no evidence for the former Parkesine works present on the site in the later 19th century. |
