Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment revealed the site sat directly over Ambrose Crawley's ironworks, bought by Crawley in 1707 and developed as one of three integrated production sites in the locality. Although the historical significance of this site was undoubted, its archaeological potential was unclear as no previous investigations had been carried out. Limited borehole evidence indicated that the site had a substantial man-made horizon representing historic industrial activity on the site. Recommendations for the development footprint was to provide rafted building foundations, or evaluation trenching to determine the nature of deposits. [Au(adp)] |
