Full Description
July-Augst 2022. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of groundworks associated with construction of new modular accommodation.
The removal of topsoil from the footprint of the new building revealed nothing of interest and no archaeologically-significant remains were noted during the subsequent excavation of foundation trenches and a soakaway pit. The one feature recorded was deemed to be of likely natural origin.
A small assemblage of unstratified finds was recovered from the topsoil during these works, comprising a potentially Early Neolithic flint flake; a Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age flint end scraper; Late Saxon, medieval and post-medieval pottery sherds; single post-medieval pantile and clay tobacco pipe fragments and a potentially medieval buckle.
See report (S1) for further details.
