Description
The excavations in 1994–1995 (Stage III) consisted of the large-scale excavation of much of the lower gravel terrace portion of the development area. All areas were mechanically stripped of topsoil under archaeological supervision; the spoil was surveyed by metal detector (see EEX54074). The excavation area was divided into development areas labelled A to C, of which Area A was further subdivided into Areas A1 to A4. Individual excavated areas within A1 to A4 were given an alphabetic code (Areas D to R, omitting the letter O). The excavation was preceded by geophysical survey (EEX52932) and trial trenching (EEX62036).
