Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Springhill Catholic Primary School (NGR 441328, 112795) to undertake an archaeological evaluation on a playing field prior to it being surfaced for use as a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA). Six trenches measuring an average of 12m by 1.7m were excavated which all encountered modern made ground directly beneath the topsoil to a depth below 1.2m. A deeper sondage was excavated in Trench 4, which found natural geology at 2m below current ground level. Historic map evidence suggests that the Site was the location of an unused railway cutting which was in filled in the mid-20th century after the construction of the school. The fieldwork was carried out from the 24-25th October 2011 |
