Abstract:		 An archaeological attendance and observation (watching brief) during test-pitting work was undertaken at St. Martin's Park, Barnack Road, Stamford, Lincolnshire between the 2nd and 3rd of December 2019 by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS). The work took place during initial ground investigations for geotechnical purposes. There are a number of known archaeological sites within the vicinity of the development site. Most notable is an Iron Age site with later Roman industrial activity located immediately to the east of the proposed development site. The results of this earlier archaeological work suggested that there was potential for similar archaeological deposits to be revealed during any current groundworks. Four geotechnical test pits were located within the roadways running around the still-standing industrial buildings. A fifth test pit was located within one of the buildings towards the eastern edge of the site. A layer of tarmac and reinforced concrete covered most of the external roads and car park which had been laid on a thick bedding layer of stone and made-ground. Reinforced concrete also formed the floor of the building. Beneath the surfaces and made ground was a layer of slightly clayish silty sand over sands and gravel. No topsoil or subsoil was observed in any of the pits suggesting that the entire site had been landscaped to create the factory complex. A further three test pits were observed within the adjacent field to the east of the site. Topsoil and subsoil over sands and gravels were seen in these pits. No archaeological features or deposits were seen during the exercise.
