Description

An evaluation by trial trenching was carried out in relation to a planning application for a residential development on the site. Five trenches (total area 80m2) were excavated, representing approximately 4.5% of the area of the site. The site was on sloping ground at a maximum height of approximately 11.2m OD. The natural strata consisted of weathered chalk bedrock overlaid in places by superficial deposits of alluvial sand and gravel. A thin layer of sandy subsoil and thicker deposits of modern garden soil overlay the natural strata. Some 19th- and 20th-century pits and a 20th-century foundation were encountered but no archaeological features or deposits were seen and no artefacts were recovered.
