Description
Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out in April 2017 during groundworks for a rear extension (CBC planning application 162946). A total of 14m of 500mm wide foundation trench were excavated. The exposed deposit profile proved to be 1.1m deep made up of 0.5m of topsoil above 0.6m of mid to dark brown silty sand subsoil, which lay over the locally occurring natural glaciofluvial deposit (pale brown very silty sand with small flints). Close inspection of the foundation trenches did not reveal any archaeological features and the only finds in the upcast spoil were two small fragments (18g) of abraded Roman tile and a few fragments of 20th century brick.<1>
