Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology (WA) was commissioned by Stepnell Ltd (the Client), to undertake an archaeological watching brief at land adjacent to the Portway, Old Sarum, Wiltshire, centred on NGR SU 14685 33395, hereafter referred to as 'the Site'. Planning permission (S/2012/0521/FULL) has been granted by Wiltshire Council for the construction of a three storey, 120 bedroom care home including associated site works, landscaping and car parks, on condition (Condition 8) that a programme of archaeological work is undertaken. An Archaeological Statement was submitted with the planning application which confirmed the potential for buried archaeological remains within the Site. As a result of the archaeological potential, the Wiltshire Assistant County Archaeologist advised an archaeological watching brief was maintained during construction, to record any archaeological features within the development area. The watching brief was maintained intermittently between May and July 2014, during the soil strip and groundwork excavations. Two anomalies were investigated and confirmed to be natural in origin. No archaeological features, finds or deposits were observed during the watching brief. Prior to the completion of the groundwork on site, and in consultation with the Wiltshire Council Archaeologist, it was agreed a sufficient sample of the development area had been monitored and the archaeological watching brief on site was concluded. |
