Full Description
PRN 20427
A WATCHING BRIEF AT 101 BROADGATE RECORDED A SERIES OF DITCHES, PROBABLY RB. {1}
SOME OF THE DITCHES WERE FOUND TO BE PARTIALLY FILLED BY A UNIFORM LAYER OF CLAY, WHILST IN OTHER INSTANCES THE DITCHES CONTAINED A FULL SEQUENCE OF FILLS PRIOR TO SEALING BY THE CLAY DEPOSIT. DUE TO THE SMALL AREA INVESTIGATED, IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE ANY PATTERN TO THE EXPOSED FEATURES. THE PARTIAL FILL OF SOME OF THE FEATURES SUGGESTS THAT THESE MAY HAVE BEEN IN USE, OR ONLY RECENTLY ABANDONNED, PRIOR TO THE POST-ROMAN FLOODING OF THE AREA WHICH CAUSED THE DEPOSITION OF THE CLAY LAYER ACROSS THE SITE. {2}
