Abstract: |
Idyllic Homes Ltd commissioned Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd to conduct an archaeological watching brief during the excavation of footings for the construction of a new housing development. (Ref: DMS/112052/F) The groundworks consisted of the excavation of a series of footings approximately 0.50m wide to a depth of 0.60m, following the submitted design. Within the footprint of the new buildings no archaeological features or previously unknown heritage assets were identified. Excavation of the footings relating to the extension associated with the existing building produced evidence for a backfilled cellar, possibly relating to the existing building. The nature of the features observed indicated that the area has only been subject to relatively modern development, therefore it is considered unlikely that any significant archaeological assets were present within the development area. The absence of archaeological remains within the footings could indicate that this area was previously garden plots associated with buildings relating to Commercial Road. |
