Source/Archive record SYO2375 - Pumping Station, St Georges Field Car Park

Title Pumping Station, St Georges Field Car Park
Author/Originator
Date/Year 1992

Abstract/Summary

A watching brief maintained during the excavation of a massive machine dug trench revealed a stone built medieval drain and a considerable depth of river deposited silts bottoming on a apparently tree-strewn river bank of post-glacial, pre -Roman date. Radiocarbon dates from the timber suggested a catastrophic episode in the Bronze Age. (YAT identification No 1992.14)
