Description

A series of regular site visits to undertake archaeological monitoring and recording at Plot 1 was undertaken by R. Adams (also described as B. Adams). Monitoring was undertaken during the excavation of the foundation trenches and involved inspection of the resulting spoil heaps. During the course of the construction, a drainage trench was made across Plot 2 in order to gain access to the communal sewer. The excavated trench and resulting spoil heap were similarly monitored. According to source <2>, this event took place in 1982.
