Description
Archaeological evaluation in advance of the consturction of two dwellings, a cemetery extension and the creation of a nature garden. 5 trenches were excavated. Trenches in the lower, northern area of the sloping site revealed a natural subsoil of yellow silty sand with patches of broken chalk at a depth of c.1m below and overburden of topsoil and pale brown sand silt deposit, interpreted as hillwash. Trenches excavated higher up the slope exposed a subsoil of grey chalk with small chalk lumps and flint which lay directly below the topsoil (S1).
