Full Description
May 2005. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of proposed development site. Five trenches excavated. Contexts 1-47 used.
The lack of archaeological features and deposits within the trenches suggest that there had been no human settlement of the floodplain prior to the construction of the garage, although a small number of finds found during the evaluation and, more particularly, a decorated Viking spearhead found in 1958 (NHER 10518), suggest casual loss of objects over the course of a great many years.
