Description
October 2002. Watching brief.
A watching brief on the site of a demolished house found few remains of archaeological significance due to modern ground disturbance. Two pits and a post hole, which contained artefacts of Saxon and possibly Roman dates were identified. This demonstrates that archaeological remains extend toward Crescent Road, north of both the main excavation area opened in advance of the redevelopment work (see EEX62009), and the important Roman and Saxon site of Elms Farm (EHER 17445). <1>
Note: The material described in this record may be associated with the settlement at Elms Farm, see EHER 17445 and EHER 17446.
