Abstract: |
Aeon Archaeology was commissioned by L F Architecture Ltd, to undertake an archaeological
watching brief during the groundworks associated with the creation of two additional car parks
providing 46 additional car parking spaces and 10no. lighting columns at Telford Crematorium,
Woodhouse Lane, Red Hill, Telford, Shropshire, TF2 9NJ (NGR SJ 72823 11161). The archaeological watching brief at Telford Crematorium consisted of the monitoring of two
consecutive car park excavations which took place to the northwest of the main crematorium building,
these additional car parks are referred to as (A) and (B). Both areas appeared to have been subject to a
large land stripping event, onto and in some places into the natural sand-clay sub-strata. This wholesale
removal and disturbance of soils is most likely associated with the works associated with the initial
construction of the crematorium. Within the southern portion of the excavation area for car park (A) a
single ditch was discovered which ran southwest to northeast across the Site. This feature did not
produce any artefacts but is suspected to be a post-medieval field drainage ditch. |
