Abstract: |
The fieldwork comprised the machine excavation of four evaluation Trenches. Natural Hackney Gravels were recorded between 35.65m and 37.99m aOD. Across the north-west of the site significant truncation was encountered and the natural deposits were directly overlain by modern made ground. In the south-west, far better levels of survival were found with only thin made ground deposits overlying the natural and in some cases extant subsoil was present. Probably the earliest feature on site was a root disturbed pit of tree throw which contained flintwork predating the Bronze Age; it also contained post-medieval metallurgical remains. Given the root disturbance it remains unclear whether this is genuinely a prehistoric feature or these finds are residual. Two 18th century pits were recorded in the south-west of the site; historic mapping shows that the site was located in brick fields during this period and it is likely that these features were associated with that industry. The Remaining features were of 20th century date and comprised a pit and postholes. |
