Full Description
A watching brief was held during the excavation of contractors trenches on a small site at the rear of a plot between 54 and 55 Crowhurst Road and fronting onto Crowhurst Road and Manor Road. Observations revealed some evidence of probable Roman deposits. This consisted primarily of dump/midden deposits, approximately 0.25m thick, 0.8m below the modern ground level. The deposits were a mixed greenish brown sandy loam with oyster shells. The deposits sealed natural sand and were sealed by 'dark earth' topsoil. The deposits were most evident in the south-west corner of the site where pottery sherds were also recovered.<1>
