Abstract: |
The archaeological work comprised monitoring of the demolition of the existing buildings, the excavation of stanchion base pits and of new foundations. Natural sands and gravels were recorded in the west and south of the site between 60.83m and 61.13m aOD. Natural Head deposits were observed at around 61.40m aOD; the natural deposits were overlain by modern made ground. The foundations of the maltings building in the east were recorded with flint foundations overlain by red brick. The southern boundary wall and panel shop in the north were also constructed in the same way. During the excavation of the new foundation trenches, the heavily truncated red brick basement walls of the maltster's house were also recorded. The various parts of these buildings appear to be broadly contemporary and probably of late 19th century date. Apart from the maltings foundations no archaeological remains were recorded on site. The site appears to have undergone significant truncation almost certainly associated with the recently demolished maltings. |
