Archaeological investigations were undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology in three stages during 2019, before and during the construction of a new boating lake. These comprised the monitoring of 22 geotechnical pits prior to the works, a strip, map and sample investigation during removal of overburden within the footprint of the soil bund around the boating lake and the borrow pit to the east of the lake, and the excavation of 10 evaluation trenches within the footprint of the boating lake.<1> The investigations revealed a shallow topsoil directly above the clay natural geological deposits. Overall, there was an absence of significant archaeological features. The exception were three small, shallow deposits of poorly fired red clay (not retained), recorded in the south-western area of the borrow pit. These do not represent firing in situ but are reminiscent of the same material that forms the ‘red hill’ located 200m to the east (MCC10099).
