Full description
1> The undisturbed upper fills of the city ditch were established in trenches 1 and 2 at depths of approximately 1.6m. This evaluation did not excavate these deposits as the proposed development will not affect archaeology at this depth. The sequence of layers in these two trenches was fairly similar. The full depth of the ditch is approximately 3.5m from the current ground surface.
2> The upper layers of the city ditch were originally encountered in Trench 1 during the evaluation and also encountered in Trench 2 during the evaluation.
