Abstract: |
Archaeological work was carried out as a condition of planning permission, granted by Wiltshire County Council (15/12164/FUL & 16/07507/FUL). This was part of a programme of archaeological works monitoring a dual development. One area lay on the eastern side of Dogridge Road, where two bungalows and associated parking were proposed, this was covered by a monitored by strip, map and sample. The second, slightly larger site, was located on the western side of the road, on which eight flats along with associated infrastructure were proposed, was covered by archaeological monitoring. The watching brief monitored all groundworks associated with the construction of the flats, including ground reduction (levelling of the site) from current ground level, and service trenching. The strip, map and sample comprised the monitored strip, under direct archaeological control, of an area measuring 0.05 ha within the site proposed for the construction of the two bungalows. In both areas a sequence of buried soils and made ground sealing the natural limestone and clay were exposed. In the area of the flats the sequence had been cut or sealed by levelling deposits associated with construction of the garages that had previously occupied the site. The archaeological works found no archaeological potential in either area. Minimal site records have been scanned as a security copy and are held at WA as agreed with The Wiltshire Museum. |
