Description
An archaeological excavation in the grounds of St. Peter's Hospital in advance of development. The excavation area, as stipulated in the archaeological brief, consisted of a single narrow trench, 50m in length. This was located towards the north-eastern limit of the proposed development, adjacent to the garden of 20 Spital Road. Although the brief stipulated a minimum width of 2m, it was decided to excavate a 4m wide trench to allow for any stepping-in of the sides in areas of excavation below the statutory safety limit of 1.2 m.
