Abstract: |
The groundworks consisted of the excavation of a series of foundation trenches which
covered an area of roughly 12m squared. The foundation trenches had a maximum
width of 0.60m and a maximum depth of 1.02m. An additional area measuring
roughly 3.50m by 2.80m was excavated in the southeast corner to a depth of 1.33m
for the purpose of constructing a new manhole drain..
Where archaeological horizons were encountered they were cleaned by hand and
excavated appropriately. Standard John Moore Heritage Services techniques were
employed throughout, involving the completion of a written record for each deposit
encountered, with scale plans and section drawings compiled where appropriate. A
photographic record was also produced. The resultant spoil from the works was
visually scanned, especially for finds relating to prehistoric period. The watching brief aimed to identify the presence or absence of significant
archaeological remains, with a particular focus on the prehistoric period. During the
course of the groundworks, the only archaeological features or remains which were
uncovered was a manhole drain and the associated sewage pipes and other modern
service pipes which were still active and in use by the surrounding houses. |
