Abstract: |
Two visits were made to the site to observe the site strip for a new MUGA pitch, measuring c.36m by c.18m, on an existing playing field to the rear of the school. The project design had been modified to avoid causing deep disturbance to potential archaeological deposits. To reach construction formation level the site strip simply consisted of deturfing, followed by the removal of up to c.0.15m of modern topsoil. The topsoil, which contained mixed 20th century material, remained in situ across the whole site meaning there was no disturbance to any underlying soil layers or archaeological deposits. It was noted that the machining was causing substantial ground vibration which was thought to indicate that the playing field could be situated upon peat deposits. The site may therefore have once have been part of the floodplain, rather than on the edge of the 'island' of the historic town. |
