Abstract: |
In 1998, Mr Z. Dutton-Thompson (the client), wished to identify the extent of any possible soil contamination that may have arisen from the presence of buried fuel tanks on the site (within ''Area 1'' in fig.1). To achieve this a borehole survey was necessary, but given the proximity of the site to a Scheduled Ancient Monument (S.A.M. Hereford 124), and that it lies within the Area of Archaeological Importance (as defined by the Area of Archaeological Importance (Hereford) Order 1984), Mr. Dutton-Thompson commissioned an archaeological watching brief in order to assess the likely survival of substantially undisturbed archaeological remains in the area of potential disturbance (marked as Area 1 and Boreholes 1, 2 and 3 in fig.1). The Boreholes were sunk with a percussion cap rig after removal of the concrete yard surface. The cores retrieved from the boreholes were analysed, drawn and sampled. They showed that substantially undisturbed and potentially important archaeological remains survive below the modern yard surface to a maximum depth of 3m in places. |
