Abstract: |
The footprint of the extension was reduced to the natural horizon using a 360 excavator with a 1.6m wide bladed bucket. The overburden varied in depth on the moderate slope of the development area. At its thinnest point the overburden was approximately 0.1m deep, and rose to approximately 0.32m to the south. No archaeological deposits or finds were encountered during the course of the investigation. The footprint of the extension was heavily truncated by modern services and test pits, none of which appeared to be disturbing any other archaeological remains which they may have inadvertently truncated. Extensive rooting, and the remains of burnt roots was observed across the area, but this was attributed to modern land management. |
