Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by English Heritage to undertake an archaeological watching brief alongside the access footpath to the Stonehenge Visitors Centre, as part of the ongoing SVEP works. The monitored works encountered made ground which is related to the initial construction of the Stonehenge Visitors Centre. Due to the presence of made ground the natural chalk geology was not reached. As such no archaeological features were identified or impacted upon during the excavation of the cable trench. During the course of the watching brief 10 litres of topsoil was sieved at 30 m intervals along the length of the cable trench for the purposes of finds retrieval. No artefacts were observed. The watching brief took place between the 4th and 6th November 2019. |
