A new English Heritage guidance note on piled foundations and their use in preserving archaeology in situ has recently been released. It describes the main piling techniques used to construct foundations, the potential impacts of each pile type on archaeological deposits and how to mitigate the impact of piling, giving a range of options. These focus is on the decisions that need to be considered throughout the design and construction process. Case studies demonstrate some of the mitigation suggestions, and future research priorities are also discussed.
