Abstract: |
Work on geotechnical trial pits and a borehole was monitored between 11th and 12th November 2007. A standing building assessment, which looked at 15 buildings on the site, was also undertaken on the 1st Novemeber 2007 In total, five geotechnical trial pits and one borehole were monitored. Borehole 1 and Trial Pit 2 produced geological material only. Trial Pits 1, 4 and 5 also included unstratified garden soils of recent date and were of very limited archaeological interest. The principal object of interest was the concentration of wood fragments found in Trial Pit 3. Their location in the top of the clay at a depth of some 1.6m, and beneath an apparently geological deposit, indicates a very early date. No remains of the 19th-century foundry were encountered, either as walls or as usage/waste deposits or artefacts, within the trial pits. |
