Description

A single trial trench in the garden to the rear of the property, in advance of the erection of 12 flats on the site (CBC planning application F/COL/06/0031). This work revealed 0.8m-1.0m of post-medieval topsoils sealing three post-medieval pits, the largest of which may have been a quarry pit. Roman pottery and tile was found in a residual context in later features, but there was no evidence of Roman burials (presumably because of destruction caused by the post-medieval quarrying). <1>
