Description
Trial trenching carried out by Albion Archaeology in May 2009 in advance of redevelopment of site for a new Crown Court complex identified 2 intercutting boundary ditches aligned NW-SE, one 1.8m wide and 1.17m deep, the other 1.4m wide and 1.1m deep. A small oval pit 1.9m long and 0.35m deep cut both ditches. A probable oval pond 1.05m deep and measuring at least 7.5m X 1.8m was also found. All features appeared to have been deliberately backfilled in the twentieth century. A layer of compacted brick rubble may have resulted from the demolition of a terrace of 19th century houses that previously stood on part of the site before the construction of the Equitable Life office block. See report for detail (B1).
