Abstract: |
The work was carried out in the manner that was required in the Scheduled Monument Consent. The groundwork contractor was told before commencement of on-site works that the site was within a scheduled monument. During the course of the groundworks an archaeologist visited to ensure that the ground reduction for the extensions was to the agreed depth (450mm) as specified in the Typical Slab Detail drawing. No ground reduction below this level was allowed.
Foundation trenches were excavated to the south-east and north-west of 41 Corinium Gate. The foundation trench to the south-east measured 3.20m by 0.60m and reached the agreed depth of 0.45m. The foundation trench to the north-west covered an area measuring 8.10m by 4.10m. After removal of the paving slabs and associated levelling material for them it too reached the agreed depth of 0.45m. The depths of the excavations did not exceed the agreed limit.
Where archaeological horizons were encountered they were cleaned by hand and excavated appropriately. Standard John Moore Heritage Services techniques were employed throughout, involving the completion of a written record for each deposit encountered, with scale plans and section drawings compiled where appropriate. A photographic record was also produced.
The resultant spoil from the works was visually scanned, especially for finds relating to the Roman period Archaeological monitoring of the foundation trench excavations uncovered a series of modern made-ground and levelling deposits. No archaeological features or deposits from any other period were observed. |
