Description

Palaeo-environmental assessment was undertaken of organic-rich deposits encountered during ground investigations at the University Site, including beetle analysis and C14 dating. The organic-rich sand deposit was concluded to have accumulated within a small tributary or man made drainage ditch, sometime between the late medieval and early medieval periods, which subsequently became rapidly infilled, possibly as a consequence of site abandonment and settlement neglect.
