Description
Archaeological monitoring was carried out on groundwork associated with improvements to the flood defences. The works entailed the raising and strengthening of the existing river wall. Only one aspect was systematically monitored and that was the construction of roadway ramps over the improved flood defence. This work entailed a large excavation along the east bank. Despite reaching depths of 1.5m below the present ground surface only made ground deposits associated with 19th land reclamation were identified.
