Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East have undertaken a geoarchaeological watching brief on behalf of 4-Delivery at the site of Scaynes Hill Growth Scheme. This is a programme of sewer upgrading involving the construction of a CSO chamber, new manholes and pipe trench excavation. The work involved the observation of deep excavations being carried out as part of this work. The investigation revealed that the site had been heavily disturbed through the formation of a mid-late 20th century landfill site. The landfill was recorded extending to depth varying between 1.8m and 3m across the site. In two locations disturbed alluvial sediments contaminated with landfill were encountered. No archaeological remains or intact palaeoenvironmental deposits were encountered, No further work is recommended. |
