Description
c. 10m of archaeological deposits were recorded above natural. These comprised alluvial sandy silts, which in one borehole could be dated to the pre Conquest period. Above these were clayey organic silts which were interpreted as having formed within the King's Fishpool and dated to the 14th - 15th century. Further organic silts accumulated in the 18th/19th century which were sealed by c. 1.5m - 3m of modern rubble and a concrete surface.
