Type and Period
Description
July 2020. Trial Trenching.
An area of bioturbation was overlain by a relict horticultural soil which had partially survived in the northern portion of the site. Modern truncation caused by 20th century house building had removed it in the southern area around Trench 1. The soil is likely to date to the post-medieval period although no finds were recovered directly from this deposit.
No other features were present. <1>
