Abstract: |
In March 2021, ADAS was commissioned to carry out an archaeological watching brief for RSK Environment Ltd on behalf of Kier of two machine dug trial pits and eight windowless sample boreholes. The trial pits recorded the presence of peat however, no archaeological features were recorded in any of the trial pits. The peat deposits represent wetland and have the potential to contain further information on the past landscape through assessment of palaeoenvironmental remains. The absence of archaeological features recorded during the archaeological monitoring would suggest that there is a low potential for archaeological features to be impacted by future work in this area. However, the absence of features could be attributed to the limited ground impact caused by the trial pits. Due to the relatively low impact of the ground investigation works it should be considered that the area still has potential for containing undisturbed archaeological features or deposits. The absence of archaeological features recorded during the archaeological monitoring would suggest that there is a low potential for archaeological features to be impacted by future work in this area. |
