Abstract: |
Six evaluation trenches were excavated prior to redevelopment of the site. Truncated natural banded sandy gravels were observed beneath a silty backfill of late 19th-early 20th century date which probably relates to construction of buildings on the site in the early 20th century. This deposit was overlain by a loose rubbly modern backfill in some trenches (associated with the clearance of modern office blocks in the late 1990s or early 2000s) and by modern structures or services in others. Modern rubble and tarmac completed the sequence. |
