Abstract: |
The Watching Brief consisted of the monitoring of the removal of large fuel tanks from the sites previous use as a filling station. Due to the potential risk of exposure to contamination relating to hydrocarbons, that had entered the surrounding environment as a result of seepage from the fuel tanks, close examination of stratigraphic layers was impossible. Therefore, following the removal of the fuel tanks, observations on the resulting sections produced were made from a safe distance where risks from contamination were minimal. Archaeological remains relating to the Roman Road of Watling Street, that followed the present day course of Burnt Oak Broadway immediately adjacent to the site, were not observed. This was presumably as a result of large scale truncation bought about by the excavation and subsequent landscaping of the site as part of the insertion of several fuel tanks related to the filling station that formerly occupied the site. Finds, features and deposits from other archaeological periods were equally unrepresented presumably as a result of the same means. |
