Abstract:
A single test pit, measuring 2m by 2m in extent, was excavated in the car park of the Parkside Fire and Rescue station in July 2010 in advance of redevelopment. A relatively well preserved archaeological sequence was revealed, at the base of which a large quarry pit of medieval or earlier date was identified. This was overlain by a layer of ploughsoil containing post-medieval material, which was in turn sealed beneath the remnants of a 19th century formal garden. Finally, the sequence was capped by modern overburden, including material derived from the demolition of a prestigious 19th century villa.
