Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Turner and Townsend, on behalf of Zurich Assurance Ltd to undertake an archaeological watching brief during groundworks associated with the construction of new office building(s) ('Project Norwood') in the Kimmerfields Development, adjacent to Fleming Way in central Swindon. The watching brief monitored 5 areas within the Site and despite a potential for the presence of Roman, Saxon and medieval remains to be present, no archaeologically significant finds, features or deposits were uncovered. The monitored areas were all observed to have been subjected to a high level of previous modern disturbance, most likely associated with earlier construction work on the Site. Despite a potential for the presence of Roman, Saxon and medieval remains to be present, no
archaeologically significant finds, features or deposits were uncovered within the area monitored. The site was found to have been subjected to a high level of previous modern disturbance, most likely associated with earlier construction work on the Site. The underlying natural has in places been heavily truncated and is overlain with a layer of modern made ground. Minimal site records have been scanned as a security copy and are held at Wessex Archaeology as agreed with Swindon Museums and Art Gallery. |
