| Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Aspire Defence Capital Works to archaeologically monitor the excavation of 11 geotechnical test pits at the Aldershot Garrison, centred on NGR 487150 152560. The previously reported comprehensive and substantial landscaping was in evidence across the Site. In some areas the original ground surfaces had been removed prior to the formation of the made-ground; the extent of truncation was variable. Deep deposits of made-ground were observed in nine trenches across the Mons and St Omer Barrack areas. In five test pits (close to the North Camp sports centre, just north-west of Byford Gate, and north-east of Ash Lock), deposits below the overburden indicate the preservation of the original ground surface, and potentially buried archaeological remains Surviving original soil sequences with relatively little or no overlying made-ground indicate less damaging activity within the immediate vicinity, i.e. more conducive to archaeological survival (two test pits, Lille Barracks and between Prince's Avenue and Morland's Road). No archaeological remains were encountered during the course of the works. The potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains in the monitored areas can be regarded as: moderate to high where landscaping comprises only made-ground, and low where landscaping and service trenching have removed the natural soil deposits and the archaeological resource. 1st and 3rd September 2014. |
