Abstract: |
Peterborough City Council granted planning permission (06/00338/FUL) for the erection of four industrial buildings, comprising nine units with associated delivery areas, parking and landscaping, on an area of 4.2ha to the south-east of Peterborough town centre. Albion Archaeology was commissioned on 1st June 2006 by John Samuels Archaeological Consultants, on behalf of Wilson Bowden Developments Ltd, to carry out the archaeological observation and prepare a report on the results. At the start of this development, the site was occupied by a disused sports field and the remains of bowling greens. It had previously been part of a brickworks. No significant archaeological features or artefacts were revealed during the works, though only the foundations were excavated to an archaeologically sensitive depth. Disturbance from the brickworks was found to have been widespread, yet mostly shallow. The removal of only topsoil from most of the area has ensured that if archaeological remains exist within the site, they remain preserved in situ beneath the development. |
