Description
A long term watching brief was undertaken during the construction of the first phase of the retail park, associated access roads, and during the demolition of the oil refinery. A thin layer of topsoil (max 0.025m thick) was found to directly overlay the natural alluvium in undisturbed areas. Other areas had been heavily disturbed during the construction of the refinery. The majority of the earthworks for the new road involved no ground disturbance. No archaeological deposits, features or finds were encountered in any of the monitored areas.
