Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by QinetiQ (Managed Services) to undertake an archaeological watching brief to monitor ground works and record any archaeological features and deposits that might be impacted by the construction of a new replacement fuel tank, located adjacent to Building 408. This building lies immediately to the east of known archaeological features and it was deemed that there was the potential for significant archaeological remains to have survived in the proposed development area. The archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the initial groundworks between late February and early March 2011. No evidence of archaeological finds or features were observed at the proposed construction level during the course of the watching brief. The results of the watching brief appeared to show that the site had been heavily impacted by the insertion of modern concrete footings potentially prior to the construction of Building 408. |
