Abstract: |
Two evaluation trenches were mechanically excavated at the site to a cumulative length of 45m. The overburden across the site comprised a modern demolition layer overlying a silty topsoil deposit. Trench 1 contained no cut features, but did provide evidence of a possible terrace or lynchet. Trench 2 contained a ?continuation of this probable lynchet, and in addition produced evidence of a ditch from which several fragments of Late Iron Age / Early Roman pottery were recovered. An undated gully orientated on a similar alignment, and a small pit were also identified within this trench. A subsequent watching brief showed that the area previously occupied by recently demolished buildings had been heavily truncated. No archaeological deposits or features were identified in any of the monitored foundation trenches. A small assemblage of artefacts (mostly post-medieval in date) was recovered from the overburden. |
