Abstract: |
Three evaluation trenches, two with dimensions of 15m x 4.2m at surface to be excavated to a maximum of 2.4m below ground level, to expose a basal area of 12.6m x 1.8m and one with dimensions of 20m x 4.2m at surface to be excavated to a maximum of 2.4m below ground level, to expose a basal area of 16.6m x 1.8m. These were positioned to target postulated higher brickearth on the northern frontage of the site as identified by a deposit model. Sondages were excavated in all trenches to complete the depositional sequence through alluvium to the surface of the underlying natural gravel. Natural gravels were recorded in all trenches within sondages between 2.09m OD and 0.86m OD. This was sealed by a sequence of sterile and homogenous alluvial clay deposits recorded between 3.93m OD and 3.35m OD and ranged in thickness between 1.83m and 2.77m. Cutting the surface of the alluvium in Trench 1 was a late post-medieval posthole and cutting alluvium in Trench 3 was a late post-medieval quarry pit. A deposit model undertaken on the site identified possible higher brickearth on the northern frontage of the site which the evaluation trenches targeted. No intact brickearth was recorded, sealing the alluvial sequence were modern deposits and features. A small area of weathered brickearth was recorded in Trench 1. |
