Description
Modern overburden and vegetation was removed using a small mechanical excavator. After removal of the modern overburden the site was found to be covered by concrete platforms. This meant that two trenches were excavated in places where access to the underlying deposits was possible, neither of which could be located adjacent to the street frontage towards the eastern edge of the site. Trench 1 measured 2m x 1.5m. Trench 2 measured 3m x 1m. Archaeological deposits and features were recorded using the standard ECC Field Archaeology Group context recording system. Sections were drawn at 1:20 scale, plans were drawn at 1:50.
