Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to undertake an archaeological watching brief during ground works. The monitored works covered 0.17 ha, centred on NGR 396977 171123, at K4 Kitchens, New Road, Studley, SN11 9LX The development intends to replace the dis-used commercial premises with three three-bedroom new build dwellings. The works consisted of the demolition of the dis-used commercial premises (including the concrete pad on which it stands) and the construction of new buildings with footprints both within and outside of the current building's footprint. The demolition of the concrete pad and further groundworks were subject to monitoring by qualified archaeologists. A planning application (20/02070/FUL) submitted to Wiltshire Council on 26 May 2020, was granted 16 October 2020, subject to conditions. All groundworks were monitored in accordance with the methodology set out within the WSI (Wessex Archaeology 2021). Area1 appears to have extended beyond the defined area but was monitoring by the attending archaeologist. Wiltshire County Archaeology Service recommended a watching brief because of the proximity of the site to a known Roman settlement. No archaeological features were observed and no archaeological finds were recovered. Whilst the site has been subject to disruption from previous development the natural geology was encountered in a number of locations in areas 2 and 3 without any indication of archaeological remains. The construction requirements of area 1 were very shallow (c.0.15 m blgl) and it is likely that any surviving archaeological resource will be preserved under the new buildings No archaeological features or artefacts encountered. The archaeological monitoring was required on site because of the proximity of a known
Roman settlement, whilst the site has been subject to disruption from previous development, the natural geology was encountered across the site and appeared relatively undisturbed for the most part. The amount of excavation observed during the archaeological monitoring means, that had there been any archaeological remains on site, these would have been identified. The lack of any archaeological material on site suggests that the potential for archaeological remains on site is low, and any features associated with nearby Roman activity, do not impact into the site. |
