Abstract: |
Of the thirty-four proposed trenches only nine were opened fully, one partially and the remaining twenty-four only as test pits. At no point was natural geology reached and the only deposits found were modern backfill and landfill to depths of over 2.5m. This suggests that the area was used for gravel extraction to significant depths destroying any archaeological deposits that might have been present. The gravel pits were subsequently backfilled with landfill in the 19th to 20th centuries. The site is considered to have no archaeological potential. |
