Abstract: |
<summary>Excavations revealed that Romano-British settlement remains extended beneath the proposed development area. The production of a mitigation strategy for the construction of buildings on the site was recommended, total excavation being expensive and destructive. Archaeological work ahead of digging of trenches for foundations, services etc, was recommended. It was also suggested that topsoil disturbance be kept to a minimum, as it served to protect archaeological remains beneath. Consultation with several archaeological bodies prior to the submission of design proposals for planning permission was recommended. {italon}AIP{italoff}{spacea} |
