Abstract: |
Fieldwork for the archaeological evaluation was undertaken by 110 Archaeology during 1st-3rd June 2020. The planned two trenches were in the event split into three due to the presence of a live service run. These trenches (1 & 2) each measuring approx. 7.50m long and 1.60m wide were excavated on the southern, more elevated area of the site. The third trench 15m long and 1.60m wide was excavated on the lower eastern side of the site. Trenches were excavated using a mini-digger with toothless ditching bucket. Sections and the trench base were then hand cleaned prior to recording in plan and section ). The trench locations were surveyed in relation to the site boundaries and existing building on the site. The natural substrate, comprising a light brown clay (104, 203 & 303) was exposed at varying degrees within all three trenches. The surface of this clay was recorded throughout both trenches 1 and 2 at a level height of 21.66m and 21.39m (AOD) respectively. The fire station building was recorded photographically internally and externally prior to proposed demolition – the building had very few features of specialist interest. No archaeologically significant artefacts were observed or recovered during the evaluation trenching, and therefore it is unlikely that archaeologically significant deposits survive in any quantity in the immediate vicinity of the development. |
