Abstract: |
In May 2019, Trent and Peak Archaeology was commissioned by Rushcliffe Borough Council to undertake an archaeological trial trench evaluation on Abbey Road Central Depot, West Bridgford, Nottingham (centred on SK 59289 37154) ahead of proposed redevelopment. Three of the proposed seven trenches (Trenches 1, 3 and 7) were dug in locations set out in the approved WSI although some minor relocation of these was required to avoid on-site obstacles and below ground services. These trenches revealed no archaeological remains or deposits and showed that the ground had been disturbed to at least 1.2m below ground level by intrusive groundworks associated with previous phases of development. A number of previously unknown live buried services were also encountered. Given the negative results of the initial three trenches; the presence of live services and heavily contaminated ground it was decided, in consultation with Rushcliffe Borough Council's Conservation and Heritage Officer that the site had been sufficiently evaluated and that the remaining trenches were not to be excavated. |
