Full Description
January 2011. Desk-based Assessment.
Report awaited.
P. Watkins (HES), 19 June 2017.
November 2013. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of proposed extension to Norton Subcourse Quarry (Extraction Phases 14-15).
The 33 trenches excavated revealed a number of ditches but unfortunately no dating evidence was recovered. In the eastern part of the site several of these ditches probably correspond with previously identified linear cropmarks (NHER 41943). There were also a number of cropmarks in this group for which no corresponding sub-surface features could be identified. The soils deposits were relatively shallow and the surviving features shallow, so it is reasonably likely that some remains have been loss as a result of plough truncation. There was also no evidence of any feature associated with a linear cropmark that had previously been mapped in the western field (NHER 49651).
No unstratified finds were recovered.
See report (S1) for further information and NHERs 39927 and 61881 for details of initial field survey.
