Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by AECOM to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land at Cementation Skanska Ltd. Bentley Works, Pipering Lane (east), Bentley, Doncaster (hereafter 'the Site'), situated at NGR 456141 405823. Planning consent (12/01056/FULM) had been granted for the modernisation of the Site, subject to the archaeological investigation works. The archaeological evaluation followed on from an Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment (AECOM, 2012) and Written Scheme of Investigation (AECOM 2013), which identified several prehistoric cropmarks to the west of the Site. There is limited evidence for activity during the prehistoric period within the area of investigation, with the possible continuation of the identified cropmarks into the Site targeted by the evaluation. The Site is currently occupied by the Skanska Cementation Works comprising offices and workshops with associated machinery and cranes. Prior to the Site being established, the area was agricultural land. Three trenches were excavated in which no archaeological features were identified. This is likley due to the area having been only largely used for agriculture until the development of the Site in the late 1940s when groundworks and levelling of the site took place. |
