Monument record WBG 126 - Modern building foundations and wall at 64-66 New Street

A significant depth of modern/post-medieval made ground was noted towards the northern end of the site (exceeding the observed 2.0m depth) decreasing to the south and the street frontage where the natural sand geology was observed c.0.2m below existing concrete/blockwork surfaces. The newly terraced surface level intersected natural geology approximately 28m from the southern edge of the site adjacent to the street; after this point and further north, the terraced level was solely through made ground deposits. Modern building foundations were noted in the southern roadside retaining wall footings. No artefactual material pre-dating the modern period was observed during either site visit (S1).
