Description

An archaeological evaluation was carried out in advance of the proposed extension and improvement of four artificial fish ponds on land off Cranley Hall Road. Two trenches, measuring 94m in total length and 1.8m wide, were excavated across the footprint of the proposed pond redevelopment by a mechanical excavator. Three sondages, placed at the ends and centre of each trench, were excavated by machine to a depth c.2m where an apparent natural subsoil surface was apparent. The remainder of the trenches removed a series of modern deposits and an upper layer of peat until a uniform waterlogged peat layer. No finds of archaeological interest were identified, although thick and relatively uniform peat layers were identified (S1).
