Abstract: |
WA Heritage was commissioned to undertake an archaeological desk-based assessment of a site occupied by the Metropole Building and 10 Whitehall Place in support of an application for planning permission. Broadly speaking, the Study Area represents a high level of recorded archaeology reflecting human presence in the locality from the early prehistoric period through to the present day, with a particular emphasis on evidence from the Saxon, medieval and Post-medieval periods.The archaeological potential of the Site is however heavily compromised by the high level of previous ground impact undertaken across the Site largely associated with extensive basement construction. The depth and wholesale nature of this ground excavation is likely to have had a detrimental impact on any surviving archaeological deposits at the Site. |
