Abstract: |
Several phases of work were monitored, comprising: Excavation of footings trenches Excavation of service and drainage trenches Excavation of soakaways To the rear of the house, a section of the existing patio was removed, and an area of land approximately 2.5m x 10.5m was reduced by a maximum depth of 0.24m, prior to an archaeologist’s presence on site. The area was inspected and photographed. To the front of the house, the excavation of a soakaway, measuring 2.0m x 2.0m, with a maximum depth of 1.10m was excavated prior to an archaeologist’s presence on site. The area was inspected and photographed. The excavation of drainage linkage to the soakaway was later monitored. All excavation was undertaken under archaeological supervision and where archaeological horizons were encountered they were cleaned by hand and excavated appropriately. The archaeological watching brief was successful in meeting the aim laid out in the WSI. A series of archaeological remains were recorded, the majority of which were undated. However, where pottery was recovered it appeared comparable to that recorded during the previous evaluation (JMHS 2017). The small size of the area excavated limits the extent to which the remains can be interpreted, though it appears that 12 Crick Road is situated within an area of middle Iron Age occupation that comprises pits and probable ditches. The Iron Age and undated features were truncated by a series of later features, typically regular in form, that are likely to be associated with the construction and occupation of 12 Crick Road from the 19th century onwards. |
