Abstract/Summary
Natural sands were identified at a depth of approximately 3.5m below ground level (BGL).
Above the natural was a sequence of deposits, features and structures likely dating to the
Roman period and later. Early deposition and features include possible Roman occupation,
dumping and/or levelling deposits. The Roman layers were overlain by garden or horticultural
soils which probably accumulated during the medieval and post-medieval periods. Towards
the top of the sequence were some substantial post-medieval brick-built structures, including
a well. Associated deposits were most likely related to the subsequent demolition and
clearance of the post-medieval structures before the construction of the existing garage
building in the early 20th century.
