Full Description
June 2022. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of proposed development site (Trenches 1 and 2).
Both of the trenches excavated at this location encountered large, deep, pit-like features. These were almost certainly infilled quarry pits, as the Ordnance Survey First Edition Six-inch map (S1) clearly shows a series of former workings in this plot of land. Both pits contained large quantities of modern waste, including bricks, concrete, metal and glass. No earlier finds were recovered.
See report (S2) for further details.
