Abstract: |
The assessment found little evidence for activity in the area prior to the establishment of the GWR Works in the mid-19th century. A geotechnical survey had established there was an average of 2.5-3m of made ground across the site. Any pre-19th century features would have been cut into the natural clays at these depths. There was no evidence for former structures within the Site, and it was unlikely that ground disturbance associated with new footings, sevices, etc. would significantly damage the quality of the buried archaeological resource associated with the works. The assessment concluded that further archaeological mitigation was unnecessary prior to the development. [Au(adp)] |
