Historic Character Values – Archaeology 3.1 Archaeological Sites in the Mt Eden Main Works Area
Three archaeological sites have been recorded within the main works area (Figure 3-1). These are: 1. R11/51, a shell midden site related to MÄ ori settlement, recorded in the 1960s near the railway lines and within 31 Ruru Street, but subsequently destroyed by development works. 2. R11/3079, a pre-1900 building and any associated subsurface remains at 31 Shaddock Street. The building was demolished prior to the enabling works following archaeological recording, and this was addressed in a separate demolition phase HC DWP (Archaeology Section) (OPW60335715). There were also associated subsurface remains on the property which will have been investigated, recorded and removed during the enabling works, under a separate DWP. 3. R11/3080, a pre-1900 building and any associated subsurface remains at 6 Flower Street. The building was removed prior to the enabling works following archaeological recording, and again this was addressed in the separate demolition phase HC DWP (Archaeology Section). There is potential for associated subsurface remains on the property, but these will have been investigated, recorded and removed prior to the main works under a separate enabling works HC DWP.
