Abstract: |
This report represents the findings of a watching brief undertaken during
groundworks The site proved to have been deeply disturbed during construction of City Walls Road, and there was only extremely limited exposure of potentially archaeologically significant deposits in the form of probably post-Roman cultivation soil exposed more than 1.2m below current pavement level. Most of the area of the new extension had been disturbed by numerous service trenches and a substantial modern cast concrete foundation of unknown purpose. Nothing was seen in the groundworks that would suggest the presence of surviving archaeologically significant deposits or structural remains within 1.5m of current surface levels in the immediate area. Previous excavations prior to the construction of City Walls Road demonstrated the survival of archaeologically significant deposits of Roman date overlain by post-Roman cultivation soils; these deposits seem to have been subsequently truncated, though it is possible that some archaeologically significant remains may survive at greater depth than the present observations. |
