NHER 66858 (Monument record) - Undated pit

February 2019. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of proposed development site.
The twelve trenches excavated revealed evidence for considerable recent disturbance, with the natural orange clay silt overlain across much of the site by a made-ground deposit containing modern rubbish. A number of modern intrusions were also exposed, several of which contained dumps of asbestos.
Only a single potentially archaeologically-significant feature was identified – a large pit of uncertain date. This produced no finds but probably predated the raising of the ground level in the 19th or 20th century.
See report (S1) for further details.
