Description
February 2016. Trail trenching.
The evaluation recorded levelling deposits which are indicative of the reclamation and consolidation of the area for industry and expansion in the post-medieval period. The most recent phase of activity relates to the series of successive erection and demolition of buildings in the 20th century. The archaeological evaluation at Station Road revealed interesting insights into the early environmental development of this area and archaeological stratigraphy associated with the successive phases of consolidation and reclamation in post medieval town expansion. <1>
