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 car park and building foundation pads on the northeastern side of an existing aircraft hanger, Building 941. This building lies immediately to the northwest of an especially well preserved disc barrow and it was deemed that there was the potential for significant archaeological remains to have survived in the proposed development area. No evidence of archaeological finds or features were observed at the proposed foundation level during the course of the watching brief. The results of the watching brief appeared to show that the site of the car park and new building had been extensively terraced during the original construction of a foundation pad for the hanger. This work is very likely to have effectively removed any shallow archaeological features and deposits within the immediate environs of the hanger. |
