Abstract: |
In January 2010 a mobile crane in transit overturned down an embankment retaining one of the Stokesay Castle ponds. The weight of the crane threatened to undermine the retaining embankment and accordingly Shropshire Council acted to undertake emergency reinforcement works to the bank. Permission for these works was obtained under Class 5 of the Ancient Monuments (Class Consents) Order 1994. Because of the potential archaeological sensitivity of the site, it was considered appropriate that these groundworks should be carried out under archaeological supervision. The Archaeology Service, Shropshire Council, was commissioned to carry out this watching brief. The watching brief recorded a section of the deposits at the foot of the dam. |
