Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Agripower Ltd. to carry out an archaeological watching brief in association with the development of a new polymetric Multi-Use Game Area (MUGA) on the existing playing field of the Montem Academy, Chalvey Grove, Slough, Berkshire SL1 2TE centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) SU 95850 79680. The watching brief was undertaken on the 16 and 17 February 2016. The proposed MUGA covers a reasonable area, c. 0.15 ha, and involved the removal of topsoil and some subsoil which may have had an impact on archaeological remains. The objective of the watching brief was to monitor this excavation and preserve in record any archaeological features that are found. The watching brief monitored the removal of deposits by machine to the required construction level (0.25 below present ground level). It was apparent that this construction level was not deep enough to penetrate the subsoil and so disturb any potential archaeological features. This is not to say that there are no features present, but it was confirmed that the construction works would not impact any potential archaeology. |
