Abstract: |
In February 2010 Archaeological Research Services Ltd were commissioned by Fairgrove Homes Ltd to undertake an archaeological watching brief at 5 Old Road, Branston, Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire. The work had been requested by the Planning Archaeologist for Staffordshire County Council and required an archaeologist from Archaeological Research Services Ltd to be on site to observe ground works to ensure preservation by record of any archaeological deposits discovered. Monitoring of groundworks was carried out during removal of contaminated ground and the excavation of deep soakaways. This confirmed that the site had been the location of an extraction pit for sand and gravel that had removed any surviving archaeological features and now consisted of made ground. The watching brief did not identify any significant archaeological features, deposits, buried land surfaces or small finds within the extent of excavation. |
