Description
Twenty-five trial trenches measuring 30m by 1.8m were excavated by 20 tonne 360 mechanical excavator. Five trial pits were also excavated at the end of Trenches 3, 10, 12 14 and 22 to record geoarchaeological deposits. Geoarchaeological test-pitting recorded a basic sequence of silts and clays with some interbeds of clayey gravel and sandy gravel, but no humanly struck flints or palaeobotanically useful deposits were identified.
