Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Wates Construction to carry out a programme of archaeological evaluation on playing fields adjacent to the De Warenne Academy, Conisbrough, Doncaster, South Yorkshire. This was undertaken due to a previous geophysical survey of the Site indicating the presence of probable archaeology on the Site, although concentrated at the north and west of the Site. Five trenches c. 30m x 2m were excavated in the area of a proposed building and pond, at the south-east of the Site. The same depositional sequence was observed in each of the five trenches, with a dark silty clay topsoil overlaying a natural mid-orange sandy silt with limestone inclusions. Beneath this was the limestone bedrock, which was observed at varying depths across the south-east of the site. No archaeological deposits or features were observed in any of the trenches, other than those of modern origins associated with the lands former use as allotment gardens. This confirmed previous geophysical survey results which showed no archaeological features present within the area at the south-east of the Site. The project archive will be deposited with Doncaster Museum. |
