Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by English Heritage to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the excavation of a cable trench associated with the installation of lighting alongside the access footpath to the Stonehenge Visitors Centre, as part of the ongoing SVEP works. The monitored works took place between NGR 410004 142864 and 410023 142739, at the Stonehenge Visitors Centre, Winterbourne Stoke, SP4 7DE. The works encountered made ground which is indicative of previous works having taken place on the site. 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. |
