Description
Trial trench evaluation was carried out in advance of building three new dwellings. Three 10mx1.8m wide trenches were sited to cover the footprints of the proposed development. No archaeology was revealed except for two postholes considered to be modern and a compacted re-deposited chalk layer also considered to be a modern base for a floor. The deposit model was as follows: a topsoil layer of dark-brown soils to a depth of 0.4m, below this a subsoil layer of grey-brown sandy-silt, firable with occasional CBM fragments to a depth of 0.45m. The base of the trench was natural drift geology of chalk and flint nodules with pockets of sandy glacial infill (S1).
