Description

The archaeological monitoring at this site examined a removal of the upper 0.3 to 0.4m of modern material from the site and the excavation of pits for foundation pads. At a depth of approximately 0.4m below ground level a 0.2m to 0.5m thick layer of clay silt was encountered. This is thought to be the Roman agricultural soils previously identified on the site. This material was present across the excavated area and overlay the natural orange clay.
