Abstract: |
This report outlines the findings of an archaeological watching brief for the A303 Stockton Wood refurbishments. The refurbishment works took place along sections of the A303 between Fonthill Bushes and the Deptford Interchange, Wiltshire. The Cultural Heritage Assessment report (Balfour Beatty Mott MacDonald 2011a) prepared for the works identified a potential impact on two heritage assets; a section of Roman Road and Grims Ditch. The kerbing works took place from chainage 725m to 1245m of the scheme. Details for a watching brief were set out in a Written Scheme of Investigation (Balfour Beatty Mott MacDonald 2011b) to mitigate any impact. A reassessment of the construction methodology during works resulted in a change to the extent of the installation of the new kerbing. The excavation was reduced to 450mm width x 300mm depth, along the roadside, and was to be wholly contained within an area of previously disturbed ground. The watching brief was conducted by a qualified archaeologist with the main aim to identify if any archaeological features were present, in particular those associated with the Roman road or Grims Ditch. The excavations took place within made ground, no archaeological features were disturbed by the construction works. |
