September 2009. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of proposed development site.
A deep, disturbed, undulating subsoil deposit was present which was likely to be the result of the site's previous use as a nursery.
A number of undisturbed linear features were exposed beneath the subsoil, including several ditches of that produced small quantities of medieval to post-medieval pottery. A possible post-hole of unknown date was also recorded.
Other finds recovered during this work including residual Roman pottery sherds, post-medieval clay tobacco pipe and pantile fragments, post-medieval or later bottle glass, animal bone and various mollusc shells.
