Abstract: |
A program of archaeological evaluation was carried out to assess the site of a new medical centre and dental practice at RAF Honington, Honington (Fig. 1) for heritage assets in accordance with a condition imposed on planning application SE/13/0447/FUL and paragraph 141 of the National Planning Policy Framework.The site consisted of part of the old runway and hard standing (0.7 ha) located to the south of the current runways. The area was cleared of concrete and tarmac which in places was up to 1m in depth, a covering of 0.15-0.3m of concrete crush was then placed on the exposed deposits. Trial Trenching revealed deep deposits of made ground below the removed tarmac in excess of 1.2m in places. This is thought to be levelling deposits for the construction of the runway. Where the natural geology was seen no archaeological features were present, most likely due to the levelling of the area. |
