Description
Trial trenching carried out in June 2006 by Archaeological Services & Consultancy in advance of proposed redevelopment recorded extensive late 20th century truncation of the topsoil and subsoil, probably associated with previous redevelopment of the site. In Trench 2 a deep deposit of dumped material, possibly demolition debris from Brook Cottage, suggested deliberate infilling of the former channel of the Bear Brook [in the 1970s], whilst alluvial deposits may represent silting of the channel or silting of earlier natural channels (B1).
