Abstract/Summary

Four geoarchaeological test pits were excavated. A deep Holocene and Pleistocene sedimentary sequence was recorded, which correlates well with that observed in GTP5 during the 2nd stage evaluation carried out in 2009, prior to the development of the car park. However, no artefacts or ecofacts were recovered from undisturbed deposits; only two pieces of residual worked flint and two pieces of fire-cracked flint were recovered from colluvium in GTP2. In addition a watching brief was undertaken in an area c.850 m to the west of the geoarchaeological test-pits during ground works associated with the replacement of play equipment. No archaeological deposits were observed.
