Description
A small 2 trench evaluation targeting the footprints of two proposed residential buildings. Despite a high potential, the evaluation identified no archaeological features. The Topsoil 1000, contained modern brick rubble and a metal gate spike (not retained), but no other archaeological finds were present. The absence of evidence for archaeological activity is perhaps due to the small scale of the investigation and the results may not be representative of the wider area as a whole. The evaluation did establish that the site has been ploughed at some point in the past and that the overlying stratigraphy is very shallow suggesting limited human activity in the immediate area or previous earlier ground truncation (S1).
