Abstract: |
The evaluation comprised a single trial-trench excavated to the east of the booster station building, together with a photographic record made of the building prior to its demolition. The trench revealed the presence of extensive modern disturbance on the site. This activity intrudes below the top of the natural geology and is likely to extend further to the west beneath the booster station building. If ever present, archaeological remains in this area would have been removed by the modern disturbance. The peripheral areas of the site are better preserved and may retain some archaeological potential. However, archaeological remains were not revealed during the evaluation. Given the extent and depth of modern truncation revealed, and its likely extent beyond the trench, together with the absence of revealed archaeological remains, the proposed development is unlikely to have an adverse impact upon the heritage resource of the site. |
