Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Costain Ltd on behalf of Eight2O to carry out an Archaeological Watching Brief on land at the Basingstoke Sewage Treatment Works, Chineham, (centred on NGR 467468, 155236) ahead of the construction of a new Thermal Hydrolysis Plant (THP) within the eastern part of the Site. The watching brief was intermittently conducted between the 6th and 12th October 2015, with a supplementary visit on 18th January 2016. The majority of the Site was stripped with the exception of the south-west quarter because of a concrete spoil heap in this area. On the west side of Site the proposed Cake Import Hopper area was excavated to a depth of approximately 5m. Archaeological features observed included ceramic and concrete drainpipes that were either modern or likely 19th century in date, a foundation trench associated with the modern concrete drain and a ditch likely to date to the 18th or 19th cetury. Typically, the construction level was higher than the top of the archaeological level across the majority of the Site. This limited the opportunities to observe potential archaeology except within the area excavated for the Cake Import Hopper. |
