Full Description
Site of buildings, recorded ahead of proposed development through a programme of standing building recording carried out between December 2001 and February 2002. The buildings recorded include a row of late 19th century dwellings, a row of early 20th century houses, a 1950s fire station, and Hay's Lemonade Factory dating from the 1960s. A subsequent evaluation comprising seventeen trenches excavated across the north-east and part of the south end of the site was carried out in September 2002 by AOC. No clearly prehistoric or medieval futures or finds were noted, but a large ditch was recorded in the north of the development area on a north to south alignment. No finds were recovered from the ditch, and no specific date could be assigned to it. A further three trenches were excavated on the west side of the site by AOC in October 2002 but no finds or features of archaeological significance were recorded. In December 2002, AOC opened five more evaluation trenches across the central area of the site. No archaeological remains were encountered.
