Abstract: |
The foundation trench was excavated by hand to a depth of 1.76m-1.96m and a width of 1m, under archaeological monitoring. The north-east to south-west side measured 4.2m in length and the south-east to north-west side measured 2.9m in length. A series of made ground and archaeological deposits were observed within the trench. No archaeological features were identified during the excavations. The watching brief aimed to identify the presence or absence of significant archaeological remains, with particular focus on Iron Age, Saxon and medieval remains. During the course of the archaeological observations, a series of made ground and archaeological deposits were uncovered. Most of these contained material finds dating to the post-medieval period and largely weren’t retained. The earliest deposit recorded (08), contained fragmentary remains of animal bone and pottery, possibly dating to the medieval period. No archaeological features or finds relating to any other period were uncovered during the watching brief excavations. |
