Abstract: |
Groundworks associated with the construction of the Accredited Stand adjacent to the Start/Finish loop at the London 2012 Olympic Mountain Bike Venue, were the subject of archaeological monitoring, undertaken by Essex County Council Field Archaeology Unit (ECC FAU) on behalf of The London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games Limited (LOCOG). The monitoring was also required to comply with the Scheduled Monument Consent granted for the construction of a temporary access trackway on Adder's Hill. Hadleigh Country Park contains the remains of a World War II / Cold War heavy anti-aircraft battery, consisting of a command post, a magazine, a gun store, a water tower, and two sets of gun emplacements (Scheduled Monument 23429). The Accredited Stand was located in an area of low land between Adder's Hill and Sandpit Hill, while the temporary trackway was constructed immediately to the south-west of the structures on Adder's Hill. The groundworks in the Accredited Stand area uncovered foundations of a demolished World War II / Cold War, U-shaped building, which measured 12m by 22m and is assumed to have been used as a storage place or workshop. There were no other archaeological features or incidental artefacts identified within either of the monitored areas. |
