Description

A trial-trenched evaluation, comprising a single trench 8.0m long x 1.8m wide, was undertaken by John Newman in May 2020 in advance of the erection of a new extension. The trench was 500mm deep, with 250mm of topsoil above 250mm of subsoil. The local natural glaciofluvial deposit at the site wase orange sand with flints. The only features revealed in the trench were three ceramic drainage pipes of recent date running from the rear of the house. The only stray finds in the upcast spoil were occasional small fragments of later post medieval brick and tile.<1>
