184-186 Fleet Street, City of London EC4 - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment
Published: 2006-09-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment
The main archaeological issues directly concerning the site are: i) The position of the site directly overlying the line of a possible Romano- British/Saxon road. Observations made by Stow in 1595 record the line of a street on the north side of Fleet Street immediately west of St. Dunstan’s. A continuation of this line would run directly through the present development site. ii) The [...]

Land at Coldharbour Road / Wrotham Road, Gravesend, Kent - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment
Published: 2006-07-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment
Overall, a moderate to high potential has been identified for the existence and survival of archaeological deposits within the Study Area. There is no known recorded archaeology within the Site footprint, but this is probably due to the Site having been under arable cultivation prior to the mid 19th century through to today. Predicted archaeology on the Site is likely to be limited to evidence of [...]

Published: 2006-05-01
Subjects: Romano-British Artefacts, Romano-British Structure, Roman Villa
The evaluation concentrated on three areas of investigation: Site A (Manor Court Field), where a local archaeologist had recovered Romano-British finds from molehills; Site B, the Scheduled Ancient Monument of Withington Villa (SM GC200), a complex potentially dating from the 2nd - 4th centuries AD, first excavated in 1811; and Site C, an area between Sites A and B, the site of a spring and [...]

Argenta House, Argenta Way, NW10 London, Borough of Brent - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment
Published: 2006-05-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment
The Study Area contains minimal archaeological evidence for any period and it is unlikely that there was any significant human activity on the Site before the Postmedieval period. The most significant events within the Study Area have been the construction of major communications and transport routes: the Grand Union Canal (1805), the London and North Western Railway (1846) and the North Circular [...]
HMS/m A1, Bracklesham Bay - Designated Site Assessment
Published: 2006-04-01
Subjects: Marine Archaeology, Wreck Site
Diving investigations concentrated on an assessment of the wreck itself, supported by a photographic and video survey. A measured plan of the remains was produced. Two anomalies close to the site were also investigated, with one proving to be a corroded metal buoy and the other being a metal object of unknown function but not considered to be a part of the vessel. The hull structure was [...]
Time Team - Alfoldean, Slinfold, West Sussex - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2006-04-01
Subjects: Romano-British Agriculture, Romano-British Structure, Roman Road
The evaluation comprised an extensive geophysical survey and six trenches. The geophysical survey successfully plotted the outline of the bank and ditch enclosure surrounding the mansio complex, some of the mansio walls, and elements of the strip settlement including field systems, trackways, pits and areas of possible industrial activity. Ditches and trackways were largely aligned on Stane [...]
Time Team - Arkwright's Mill, NCP Car Park, Miller Street, Manchester - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2006-04-01
Subjects: Modern Structure, Post-Medieval Industry, Post-Medieval Structure
The primary aim of the evaluation was to identify the position of the original mill and the different phases of building and alterations which occurred during its lifetime, and to establish the position of major features such as the mill wheel pit. The project also aimed to investigate the nature of the housing which existed along the south side of Angel Street to the north of the mill [...]

The results from the archaeological investigations at Home Field have highlighted the major period of activity being from the Late Bronze Age into the Middle Iron Age (11th - 7th [...]
Land at 145 Whitehall Road and 79 Newlands Road, Woodford, London - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment
Published: 2006-04-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment
The DBA comprises principally an appraisal of records held by the Greater London Sites and Monuments (GLSMR) record. It also assesses the cartographic evidence, the historical background of the Site and the impact of previous land use. Due to the Site being an area of woodland for most of its history there is a low potential for deposits containing pre-19th century archaeological remains to be [...]
