| Abstract: |
On 10th April 2019 ADAS carried out archaeological monitoring and recording for Kier Integrated Services and Clancy Docwra (KCD) of groundworks for repair a leaking water pipe located on High Street, Avebury, Wiltshire (NGR: SU 09951 69878) as shown on Figures 1-3. The works were undertaken within the Stonehenge, Avebury and associated Sites World Heritage Site. Initial consultation between the Client and Miss Rachel Foster, the local authority archaeologist for Wiltshire Archaeological Service indicated that the development may have the potential to impact upon unknown buried archaeological remains within the development area associated with the remains of the nearby Avebury Henge and Stone Circle Scheduled Monument (HE No. 1015546) located approximately 46 m to the east of the proposed works. It was recommended that archaeological monitoring should be carried out during the groundworks in order to identify, assess and record any unknown archaeological remains. No archaeological features, deposits or artefacts were observed during the archaeological monitoring. The absence of archaeological features recorded during the archaeological monitoring of Trench 1 can be attributed to the relatively limited ground impact of the groundworks, the location of the works within the existing carriageway and due to the impact of previous development, specifically the construction and installation of the existing water main. These results indicate that the monitoring methodology used was effective in ensuring that the development resulted in no harm to the historic environment resource. |
