Full Description
October-November 2012. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of groundworks associated with installation of buried electricity cable.
No archaeologically-significant features or deposits were noted during the stripping of an easement along the eastern edge of the field and the subsequent excavation of the cable trench itself. Two worked flints of probable Late Neolithic/Bronze Age date and a single burnt flint were recovered from the topsoil during this work.
A directional drill pit excavated at the northern end of the cable trench also exposed nothing of interest.
See report report (S1) for further details.
