Abstract: |
Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) were commissioned in June 2006 by Jacobs Babtie, on behalf of the Environment Agency, to undertake an archaeological watching brief at specified locations along the River Trent on the eastern side of Burton-upon-Trent (from NGR SK 2620 2590 (north) to SK 2480 2150 (south)), during groundworks undertaken for the purposes of a Flood Alleviation Scheme (FAS). The impact of the FAS upon the archaeological resource will be minimal. The significant archaeological remains comprising the inhumations at the Memorial Gardens will be protected from the development by raising the levels of construction. Elsewhere, across most sites only the upper topsoil deposits were stripped, with little or no disturbance of any subsoil and, therefore, of any potential below ground archaeological remains. Those archaeological features or deposits that were identified during the watching brief relate to later post-medieval recent local land use and have been adequately recorded as part of the present scheme of works. |
