April to July 1999. Archaeological Excavation and Watching Brief.
Monitoring of groundworks associated with construction of Brisley to Bushy Common Pipeline (Plot 8).
Two pits with similar characteristics were recorded in the pipe trench excavation, one of which contained three sherds of handmade pottery tentatively assigned an Iron Age date, although it was stated that there is also a possibility that the pottery dates to the Anglo-Saxon period. Unstratified finds recovered included two Late Neolithic/Bronze Age worked flints (a ?scraper fragment and a flake).
A medieval pottery scatter and medieval features were recorded in the vicinity (NHER 58087).
