Abstract: |
In response to a condition on Common Land consent, granted by the Planning Inspectorate under S38 of the Commons Act 2006, on the laying of a new electricity cable across a section of Stanmore Common, London Borough of Harrow, the Heritage Network was commissioned by UK Power Networks to undertake a programme of archaeological monitoring of the cable trench. Correspondence from the Greater London Archaeology Advisory Service (GLAAS) of English Heritage, acting as advisors to the Planning Inspectorate, recommended that an archaeological watching brief should be undertaken as a condition of the consent (CLO 11048). The proposed route of the electrical cable is from the western end of Brightwen Grove running south-west past West Lodge and joining Warren Lane opposite Stanmore Cricket ground. This route follows a tarmac footpath through the woodland that forms the southern half of Stanmore Common. A single trench was excavated to accommodate a new electricity cable. The line of the trench was excavated through the existing tarmac footpath, which was orientated south-west to north-east (Figure 2). The trench measured approximately 250m in length, 0.3m in width and was excavated to a depth of 0.8m. The stratigraphic sequence revealed during the works demonstrated a very dark grey (10YR 3/1) loose, silty clay topsoil with frequent small sub-sounded stones, 0.2m thick. This overlay a dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/6) firm clay natural. |
