Abstract: |
The evaluation comprised three trenches within the open areas of the site. The aims of the project were to determine the level of post depositional truncation on the site and establish what prehistoric, Roman, medieval and post-medieval archaeological remains survive. Trench 1 revealed the remains of a post-medieval structure, overlaid and truncated by services and concrete surfaces. Within Trench 2 post-medieval structures were seen, with numerous alterations and repairs. A post-medieval basement was exposed within Trench 3 backfilled with demolition rubble and overlaid by levelling layers and a concrete surface. Natural deposits were not reached within Trench 3. Natural sandy gravel was encountered at a height of 6.88m OD within Trench 1 and 3.59m OD within Trench 2. |
