Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in April-May 2006 at the request of Airbus on land at the sites of the proposed Buildings 200B and 210, at the Airbus Technology Park, Filton, South Gloucestershire. Thirteen trenches of various dimensions were excavated within the footprints of the proposed buildings. The evaluation has characterised the archaeological potential of the study area, and has indicated that made ground resulting from the demolition of earlier industrial buildings, some associated with the construction of aircraft during WWII, survives at a depth of 0.2m below the modern ground surface. Modern demolition deposits were observed directly overlying the natural substrate and the absence of any earlier ground surfaces suggests that the area had previously been truncated, in some cases to a considerable depth. The only structures to survive consisted of a series of brick walls forming narrow chambers and a concrete slab floor revealed in trench 4. These probably represent basements or machine inspection/maintenance pits associated with a former industrial building which stood on the site. |
