Abstract: |
A single-trench evaluation was undertaken at Land Adjacent to Norbury Station over two days on the 1st and 2nd April 2019. Work was undertaken prior to the redevelopment of the site. The natural drift geology was found to be a very 'mixed' and bioturbated yellowish mid-brown clayey sand with evidence for animal burrowing. It was recorded as being between 35.02m and 34.95m OD. Two features were investigated and found to be the result of either natural disturbance or as the result of early land clearance which - would have included the up-rooting of trees and scrub. A terracotta land drain (c.1700-1900) was recorded in the east of the trench which was an indication of agricultural activity. A small area of concrete pad (or surface) measuring c.1mx1m was revealed but considered too insubstantial to be structural. It may have related to the building of Norbury Station in 1878. |
