4 SUMMARY Site Name: Former Southern Electricity Site Location: Faraday Road, Dorcan, Swindon, Wiltshire NGR: SU Type: Evaluation Date: May 2005 Planning Reference: S/03/0419CA Location of Archive: Swindon Museum Site Code: SES 05 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in March 2005, at the request of Icon Two Limited, within the former Southern Electricity site at Faraday Road, Dorcan, Swindon, Wiltshire. In compliance with an approved Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) (CA 2005), four trenches were excavated across the development area. Natural clays, cut by modern service trenches and other intrusions, were encountered throughout the site. No archaeological deposits predating the modern period were revealed, the natural clays instead being directly overlain by dump deposits associated with the construction, and subsequent demolition and removal, of modern buildings and external surfaces. 2
5 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 In March 2005 Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological evaluation for Icon Two Limited at the former Southern Electricity site, Faraday Road, Dorcan, Swindon (centred on NGR: SP ; Fig. 1). The evaluation was undertaken to accompany a planning application for commercial redevelopment of the site. 1.2 The evaluation was carried out in accordance with the requirements of Mr Roy Canham, County Archaeologist for Wiltshire County Council and archaeological advisor to the Local Planning Authority (LPA). The evaluation has been undertaken in accordance with a detailed Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) produced by CA (2005) and approved by the LPA acting on the advice of Mr. Canham. The fieldwork also followed the Standard and Guidance for Archaeological Field Evaluation issued by the Institute of Field Archaeologists (1999), the Standards for Archaeological Assessment and Field Evaluation (WCC Archaeology Service 1995) and the Management of Archaeological Projects II (EH 1991). It was monitored by Mr. Canham, including a site visit on 22nd March The site 1.3 The site lies on the south-eastern edge of Swindon (Fig. 1). It is bound to the west by Faraday Road, to the east by an electricity depot and to the north and south by commercial premises (Fig. 2). The northern part of the split-level site contains concrete hardstanding throughout and is currently utilised for car parking. The southern part of the site contains a former electricity sub station together with compacted, levelled and mounded debris associated with recent demolition of former Southern Electricity office buildings and external surfaces. Ground level across the northern part of the site is approximately m AOD. Across the higher, southern, portion of the site present ground level ranges from approximately m AOD. 1.4 The underlying geology of the area is mapped as Kimmeridge Clay and sands of the Upper Jurassic period (Geological Survey of Great Britain 1974). 3
6 Archaeological background 1.5 Archaeological interest in the site arises from the proximity of the site to the line of the Roman road from Cunetio (Mildenhall, Wilts) to Corinium (Cirencester, Glos). This remained a significant feature in the landscape well into the early modern period, and is now reflected in the line of the modern A419. Great Moor Leaze Farm to the south east is one of many sites in the area where Romano-British pottery and building materials suggest the Roman road attracted settlement and associated activities. In the wider vicinity of the site, approximately 1km to the south, pits containing late Bronze or Early Iron Age pottery and a probable kiln site were excavated indicating a significant level of prehistoric activity in the area (CA 1999, Foundations Archaeology, 2002). Archaeological objectives 1.6 The objectives of the evaluation were to establish the character, quality, date, significance and extent of any archaeological remains or deposits surviving within the site. This information will assist the Local Planning Authority in making an informed judgement on the likely impact upon the archaeological resource by the proposed development. Methodology 1.7 The fieldwork comprised the excavation of four trenches (trenches 1 and 2 both 30m in length by 1.6m wide, trench 3A was 27.5m by 1.6m and trench 3B was 24m by 1.6m wide). With the approval of Mr. Canham all four trench positions were revised from those set out in the preceding WSI (and trench 3 split into two sections, 3A and 3B) due to live services, surface obstructions and the presence of an active car park. 1.8 All trenches were excavated by mechanical excavator equipped with a toothless grading bucket. All machine excavation was undertaken under constant archaeological supervision to the top of the first significant archaeological horizon or the natural substrate, whichever was encountered first. Where archaeological deposits were encountered they were excavated by hand in accordance with the CA Technical Manual 1: Excavation Recording Manual (1996). 4
7 1.9 Deposits were assessed for their palaeoenvironmental potential but none required sampling and processing in accordance with the CA Technical Manual 2: The Taking and Processing of Environmental and Other samples from Archaeological Sites (2003). Modern finds were noted within demolition deposits but no artefacts required retention and processing in accordance with the CA Technical Manual 3: Treatment of Finds Immediately After Excavation (1995) The archive and artefacts from the evaluation are currently held by CA at their offices in Kemble. Subject to the agreement of the legal landowner the site archive (including artefacts) will be deposited with Swindon Museum. 2. RESULTS 2.1 This section provides an overview of the evaluation results; detailed summaries of the recorded contexts are to be found in Appendix 1. Details of the relative heights of the principal deposits, expressed as metres Above Ordnance Datum (m AOD), appear in Appendix 2. Trench Natural clays 103 were encountered at a depth of 0.4m below existing ground level. No subsoil or topsoil horizon survived above the natural clays, which were instead cut by three modern intrusions 104, 106 and 108. These modern features, representing service lines and/or removed footings, contained yellow gravel fills with abundant brick and concrete inclusions. They were sealed by a layer of orange clay 102, containing modern demolition material, and by a compact layer of crushed stone and concrete 101. Trench Natural clays 202 were encountered at a depth of 0.5m below present ground level, and had been punctured by a series of modern intrusions 203, 205, 207, 209, 211, 5
8 213 and 216 representing service lines, removed footings and modern postholes. Their angular sandstone and gravel fills contained abundant demolition material, including fragmentary brick and concrete, and were overlain by a compact layer of crushed concrete 201. Trenches 3A and 3B 2.4 The natural clays 303 were present at a depth of 0.5m below present ground level in both trenches. These clays were directly overlain by a geotechnical membrane, above which was a compact layer of gravel 302 which supported the extant concrete car park surface 301. The Finds 2.5 No artefactual material was encountered during the course of the evaluation, with the exception of modern finds noted within layers of demolition material but not retained. 3. DISCUSSION 3.1 The evaluation has established that no archaeological features predating the modern period, if once present, survive within the areas examined. Former soil horizons within the site appear to have been entirely removed immediately prior to construction of the former Southern Electricity buildings and external surfaces. In addition the natural clays, where examined, have been truncated and extensively cut during these pre-construction landscaping works and as a result of the insertion, and subsequent removal, of footing and service runs. 6
