Description
Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out during groundworks for a single-storey side extension (CBC planning application 162567). There were no significant archaeological remains on the development site.<1>
The foundation trenches for the extension measured 9.2m linear x 0.45m wide and 1m deep. They were excavated through modern topsoil (L1, c.0.28-0.3m thick) onto a medium grey/brown sandy-silty subsoil (L2, c.0.27-0.3m thick) which sealed natural sands (L3). Three modern service trenches had been cut into L2 and were sealed by L1. Ground level within the area of the foundation trenches was reduced by c.0.3m through L1.
