Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by UK Power Networks to carry out an archaeological watching brief during groundworks for the construction of a new substation and switch room and associated cable route from the Larkhill sewage treatment works (STW) to an existing HV joining point to the north along the line of an existing trackway. The cable route measured c.175 m in length, and the footprint of the substation and switch room at the southern end of the route by the STW measured c. 5 m x 3 m. The work lay between National Grid Reference 412868,143238 at the south to 412817 143377 at the north. The cable route and substation was excavated to a depth of up to c. 1 m cutting through the natural chalk. The majority of the groundworks were excavated through a topsoil c. 200 mm to 300 mm in depth which directly overlay the natural chalk geology. Parts of the route were excavated through an asphalt surface which overlay a subbase of scalpings and limestone blocks up to 300mm in depth which directly overlay the natural chalk at a depth of up to 500 mm. Small areas of re-deposited chalk were identified along the line of the route. Despite the archaeological potential of the area within which the site lies no archaeological features or deposits were identified during the course of the watching brief. |
