Description

All excavations deeper than 3m were subject to a watching brief, also during the excavation of two parallel cable trenches S of the development site. Excavations along the bank of the River Trent were also inspected. No evidence for either archaeological or palaeoenvironmental deposits were encountered during the watching brief on the areas of deep excavation... Had archaeological features been present in this area (cable trenches) it seems likely they would have been identified. (1) Document does not show location of excavations by the Trent. Grid reference for N end of building URA, watching brief continued to S edge of site.
