Abstract: |
The project reviews previous archaeological investigations undertaken within the development area and reports on the archaeological watching brief on works associated with the construction of a new ancillary building monitored by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd (PCA) intermittently between 24th March and 21st May 2014. The PCA watching brief did not record any evidence of 18th century or later occupation of the site. Stratigraphic sequences observed typically consisted of natural clay overlain by topsoil or an amalgamation of redeposited clay and topsoil. Taken as a whole, the review of previous work and the construction of the slab of the ancillary building, together with watching brief on associated groundwork, has demonstrated that the new development has not impacted on earlier archaeological remains within the area of development. This is due both to the fact that the construction techniques employed for the ancillary building where by necessity low impact, and also because archaeological investigations in this area of site have shown the presence of heritage assets is demonstrably limited or altogether absent. |
