Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out at a development site, during all excavations which exceeded a depth of three metres. Previous work undertaken at the site had confirmed that the upper 2-3m of sediments comprised an artificially raised surface beneath a thin topsoil, which had most probably been created during the construction of the power station and its asociated works. The proximity of the site to the River Trent and to previously identified relict river channels had indicated a possibility that palaeoenvironmental deposits could have been present beneath the made ground. No archaeological features or palaeoenvironmental deposits were noted during the watching brief, and only a small number of residual finds were recovered. These comprised two sherds of Romano-British pottery, a medieval sherd, a post-medieval sherd, a fragment of clay pipe stem and a piece of brick which was probably of recent date. [AIP] |
