Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by E.ON UK PLC to complete an archaeological watching brief previously undertaken by ARCUS (University of Sheffield) on the site of the former Blackburn Meadows Power Station at Asling Road, Sheffield. The watching brief was carried out during groundwork associated with the construction of a new renewable energy plant. The monitoring located no evidence for human activity prior to the modern period, and it was concluded that the ground levels had been significantly truncated in the 20th century during the construction of the power station and sewage works. Modern brick-built culverts, thought to have been associated with the cooling water system of the power station site, were observed to the north-east, east and south-east of an existing sub-station. |
