Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook an Archaeological Watching Brief on behalf of Doncaster Racecourse Management Company Ltd on land on the western corner of Doncaster Racecourse at the junction of Leger Way and Bawtry Road. The watching brief took place during the construction of foundations and footings of a planned 150 bedroom hotel in order to mitigate the effect of groundworks on areas previously undisturbed by pre-existing structures or racecourse activities. Monitoring of the groundworks revealed a sequence of made ground deposits used to raise up and level the surrounding area. No remains of any previous buildings associated with the racecourse or any other archaeological features were observed. There was no evidence for occupation or settlement within the development area, indicating that there is very little potential for the presence of currently unknown archaeological features within the area of development. On the basis of the watching brief the construction of the new hotel will not impact any heritage assets. |
