Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out over seven days between the 29th July and the 18th August during the excavation of the foundation footings for the new Music Centre immediately south of the main school building. The excavation of both a soakaway pit and a drainage channel were also observed. A small section of chalk garden wall, c.0.6m in length, was recorded in the north-east corner of the proposed building's footings which was post-medieval in date (early to mid-19th century). A re-deposited garden soil, c. 0.55m thick was ubiquitous across the site, in most cases sealed with modern made ground. The natural Upper Chalk was recorded at between 38.60m OD(highest) and 37.56m OD (lowest). It was overlain by a layer of degraded chalk between 0.60 and 0.90m thick whose upper limit contained pockets of orange-coloured Thanet Sand. No other structures were present. |
