Abstract:
The archaeological investigation consisted of recording the machine excavation of 14 geotechnical test pits, and demonstrated that no archaeological deposits predating the 19th century exist on the study site. Extensive terracing and landscaping of the site has occurred since the initial construction of a hospital in circa 1815. The watching brief found that the natural sands had been truncated, that all original subsoils and topsoils had been removed and replaced and that therefore the potential for finding any evidence for previous landscapes or archaeological activities was low. The test pits indicate that naturally formed, culturally sterile deposits, are overlain by 19th /20th century made ground. Clearly, any ground works associated with the redevelopment of the site are not therefore expected to impact adversely on archaeology at this site.
