Abstract: |
In August 2011 a pre-determination archaeological evaluation was carried out on the former Whiteleaf Furniture factory site in Picts Lane, Princes Risborough, to inform proposals for residential redevelopment of the site. The site lies to the south of the town, adjacent to the railway station. An initial desk-based assessment indicated that the site had moderate potential for the presence and survival of archaeological remains. Ten trenches were opened across the site. No features or artefacts of archaeological significance were revealed. Soil profiles across the site suggested that some degree of truncation had taken place during the construction of the factory and/or its demolition. It is thought unlikely that undisturbed archaeological features might survive on the site away from the trial trenches, and the impact of the proposed redevelopment of the site on buried heritage assets is assessed to be low. |
