Abstract: |
In November 2004 Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake a programme of archaeological observation during topsoil stripping of land at Thruxton Airport, Andover, Hampshire. Archaeological investigation was a condition of planning permission for landscaping at Thruxton Airport. The results for the first phase of c.0.8ha of topsoil stripping. Further work is likely to occur in spring/summer 2005. The entire study area is c.20ha in extent and comprises a roughly rectangular plot of land adjacent to Thruxton Airport. It is bordered by the airport to the north and the A303 to the south. The site lies on relatively flat land which gently slopes down from east to west, and from south to north. Machine stripping removed only the topsoil within Area 1. As a result the optimum level for observing archaeological remains was never reached. This level lies sealed beneath a layer of subsoil which has served both to protect, and conceal, any archaeological remains that may exist at the site. |
