Abstract: |
AOC Archaeology Group undertook a Watching Brief at Station Road in Sandy.The work comprised the monitoring of geotechnical investigations. The localised depositional sequence was observed throughout the northern, eastern and southern boundaries of the site. In the southern area of the site the investigations revealed that substantial alluvial deposits survive overlain by modern made ground, demonstrating that archaeological features may still be present within this area. This conclusion was supported by the discovery of Romano-British pottery and the presence of peat horizons in the alluvium. Horizontal truncation of deposits appears to have occurred in the northern and eastern areas of the site, which is likely to have removed any previously existing archaeological features. No significant archaeological features where identified during the course of the watching brief. |
