Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group between the 28th and 30th November 2006 at the site of 5a Rectory Road, Oakley, on behalf of B J Champion and commissioned by Scott Wilson. The aim of the evaluation was to assess the impact of the proposed residential redevelopment on any surviving archaeological remains. The evaluation comprised six machine excavated trenches, four of which measured 10m by 2m, with the remaining two trenches measuring 8m by 2.5m. Three trenches were recognised as containing archaeological features. These features were comprised an Iron Age pit, two Roman postholes, and two truncated late post-medieval red brick walls. The evaluation trenches also revealed that modern horizontal truncation of deposits had occurred in the northwest of the site, and to the southwest area where the late post-medieval walls were discovered. The evaluation trenches also demonstrated that undisturbed subsoil and topsoil deposits were present across the remaining area of the site, up to a depth of 1.3m. Overall, the potential for archaeological deposits to be present on site is good. This is due to the multiple phases of activity present, albeit of a low intensity nature, combined with the high degree of preservation to the archaeological horizon across the majority of the site. |
