Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at the former Parker Knoll factory, Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire (NGR SP 3197 2728). The archaeological evaluation was undertaken on request of Arthur Amos Associates on behalf of their client Sainsbury's PLC, who intend to construct a new food supermarket and associated car parking for which a planning application has been submitted. This report on an archaeological evaluation describes and assesses the significance of a heritage asset with archaeological interest potentially affected by the application. The impact of the application on the significance is assessed. The evaluation showed that the development and later demolition of the Parker Knoll factory complex had caused severe truncation of underlying deposits and that any archaeological features that may have been significant have been removed during the latter half of the 20th century. The factory itself was also removed to a greater extent and with the exception of a small buried concrete floor surface no other elements of the former building could be distinguished beyond debris within the general make up. |
