Site Event/Activity record ESF19903 - Evaluation, Rear of The Old Nursery, The Street, Easton

Two trenches excavated in or close to the footprint of proposed new buildings revealed a layer of colluvium cut by an east to west orientated ditch feature that was present on the 1st Edition Ordnance Survey map of c.1880. Some minor irregularities in the otherwise uniformly sloping site may have been the result of garden landscaping or directly associated with the ditch. No other archaeological features were recorded and no finds were recovered other than a single piece of rooftile from the ditch.
