Abstract:
During Phase 1, where existing services were revealed during excavation / known to be located, the surrounding earth was excavated by hand. Careful monitoring took place wherever there was potential for archaeological impact. During Phase 2, a permanent presence was maintained during all ground penetrating works. In phase 1, only two archaeological features were identified, both within the power cable ducting trench. These were a ditch and another possible ditch. Two prehistoric flint flakes and a single piece of post-medieval pottery were recovered from the topsoil, and a flint blade, likely Mesolithic, was recovered from subsoil. In phase 2, Four archaeological features of undetermined date, including a ditch, two postholes and a pit, were identified within the flood compensation area. These cut features were sealed by a layer of alluvium, containing a wide date range of finds. The pottery was mostly prehistoric, some of which could be dated to the late Bronze Age. Some of the pottery was either early-middle Iron Age or Saxon. The flint spanned the Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age periods.
