Type and Period
Description
January-February 1996. Trial trenching.
All the overburden was post-medieval or modern in date, consisting of three phases of levelling. The first phase of levelling cannot be dated any earlier than the 16th century, and may be dated as late as the 19th century. A few small pits and drainage gullies were cut from the surface of this levelling. The second phase of levelling is dated to the 19th-20th century, and the third levelling is very recent, forming a preparation for the concrete slabs laid over the north and west of the site for the industrial building and the coal yard. <1>
