Archaeological Notes

NX44SW 57.01 446 402

NX 446 402 An inspection of foundation trenches excavated for an extension to the rear of 30-32 George Street did not reveal archaeological deposits. The garden to the E of the property is at least 1m higher than the street level at which the house, formerly an abattoir, is built. The owner believes that topsoil has been imported in the past to raise the garden levels. He has not noted any pottery or other finds of interest. The house itself which was gutted back to the walls shows various structural phases.
