Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was appointed by VolkerFitzpartick, to carry out an archaeological evaluation at land at Woking Park, Woking, Surrey. At the time of the evaluation, the Site east of the Hoe Stream comprised a large area of Woking Park, a leisure centre. The Hoe Stream crosses the Park roughly northeast to south-west. All evaluation trenches were excavated in green field. A total of eight evaluation trenches were opened during the three day programme of works to record the presence or absence of archaeological remains. All machine excavation works were monitored under constant archaeological supervision. All trenches recorded topsoil over subsoil over a series of alluvial deposits largely comprising sandy silts. No pre 19th century archaeological features, deposits or finds were recorded. A group of late 19th/early 20th century artefacts including glass, pottery and clinker were recovered from Trench 6 which lay closest to the modern path of the Hoe Stream. These finds are likely to represent items washed up and deposited by the Hoe Stream. No evidence for the northern extent of the 19th century Westfield Tip was identified during the course of the evaluation. |
