Abstract: |
The first phase of archaeological work was an evaluation to provide more detailed information concerning the survival of archaeological remains within the site. The evaluation began with the monitoring of geotechnical test pits in order to assess the level of disturbance that the site had suffered during construction of the dairy. A periodic watching brief on the demolition of the dairy was undertaken concurrently, and the results of the watching brief and test pits are presented in this report. Archaeological monitoring of the test pits between October 2017 and March 2018 has indicated that construction of the dairy had relatively little impact on the potential of archaeological deposits to survive within the areas observed. Pre-dairy soils were identified in most of the test pits, while archaeological features were also visible in several. The watching brief confirmed the presence of isolated deep modern intrusions across the site, but also indicated that some of the buildings' foundations were relatively shallow, with the potential for archaeological remains to survive beneath them. A trial-trench evaluation is required to determine the actual presence and survival of archaeological remains across the site. |
