Abstract: |
In July 2012 Full planning permission was granted by Peterborough City Council for the refurbishment and development of the former Hereward school buildings and site to create the new City of Peterborough Academy. Pre-Construct Archaeological Services Ltd (PCAS) were commissioned by HSP Consulting to undertake a scheme of archaeological works on the site (centred on NGR: TF 20625 00025). The work, conducted in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation approved by Peterborough City Council (PCC), comprised archaeological monitoring of five geotechnical test-pits, four CPR test pits and areas of topsoil stripping associated with the formation of a temporary site compound and two new buildings. The monitoring works were undertaken in combination with the excavation of three evaluation trial trenches. No archaeological features or deposits were observed during the monitoring of the geotechnical test pits and CPR pits. A small undated pit was identified to the north of trial trench 1 during topsoil stripping. With the exception of a modern redeposited clay layer, no archaeological features or deposits were observed within any of the three evaluation trial trenches. |
