Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Ancala Water Services to conduct an archaeological watching brief on works at Larkhill Waste Water Treatment Works (centred on National Grid Reference 412850 143250) and associated rising main and works at Bulford Pumping Station (centred on National Grid Reference 417370 144060). Within the boundary of the Larkhill treatment works, evidence for previous truncation presumed to be related to the construction of the former sewage works was observed. In the works associated with the new rising water main, five military training trenches and two modern postholes were recorded in the Tombs Road section of the works. The military trenches are less than 500 m south of the excavated complex of military training trenches near Larkhill, and are located between Larkhill Airfield and a World War I training camp. A single wall was recorded at the Bulford Pumping Station works, historic mapping suggesting a building first stood in this location in the 1950's. The watching brief was conducted in a number of stages, as required, between 5th October 2017 and 8th March 2019. A watching brief was also conducted on the removal of the spillway for the Larkhill sewage treatment works, located within the boundary of the Scheduled Monument of the Stonehenge Cursus (this work requiring Scheduled Monument Consent), the results of which have been set out in a separate report (Wessex Archaeology 2019, OASIS ID: wessexar1-347150). |
