Abstract: |
An archaeological monitoring brief was conducted on land at Saxon Primary School between 2nd August and 9th September 2016. The site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument (monument no. SU142), as well as being located within an Area of High Archaeological Potential, associated to a Saxon/early medieval settlement and burial ground. The works included demolition of the existing structure, but retention and slight expansion to the existing slab foundation, so a new lightweight structure can be erected to cover the swimming pool. The areas of expansion were essentially two narrow, and shallow, strip foundations and both were observed, but were too shallow to impact upon underlying archaeological deposits. No further archaeological work is recommended. |
