Abstract: |
The groundworks consisted of the archaeological monitoring of mechanical excavation of footings trenches and a footing pad for the carport, supplemented by hand-sampling of archaeological deposits and features. The watching brief identified a large cut covering the western area of the footprint of the car port. The fill contained late post-medieval pottery and building materials. A single sherd of residual medieval pottery was recovered from the latest fill of the cut. The purpose for the cut is unknown. It may have been the remains of quarrying action for sand and gravel. Overlying the entire site was a topsoil deposit, which contained modern intrusions of concrete and shingle from the most recent use of the site, and extensive disturbance resulting from rooting action within the site. |
