Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was undertaken across the site prior to the proposed construction of offices and 1000 car parking spaces at ground and basement levels. The excavation comprised of an open area about 60m by 30m in plan. The excavation revealed a series of hillwash deposits overlying natural gravel and truncated brickearth. These deposits varied in thickness and had themselves undergone truncation. Within the hillwash fragments of burnt and struck flint, ceramic building material, pottery and clay tobacco pipe were recovered. Of particular note was a flint arrowhead of Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date. Overall the finds ranged in date from the prehistoric and Roman through to the early post-medieval period, with the single largest group represented by pottery of Roman date. The hillwash and natural deposits had been stained greyish green in places by later activity and leaching of groundwater, possibly connected with the 20th century industrial use of the site. This staining had clearly defined edges and varied in depth within the deposits. This gave the impression of man-made features, especially when seen in section and taken in conjunction with the existing lines of hillwash. Thus the ditches recorded during the evaluation were re-interpreted as staining within the hillwash and natural deposits. [Au(adp)]
