Abstract: |
The project is essentially, in accordance with planning permission, to evaluate and monitor an area of land (4.3 hectares) which is gradually being removed by quarrying for the extraction of sand and gravel. This highly destructive activity is occurring in an area of known prehistoric sites and Lancaster University Archaeological Unit (LUAU) has been commissioned to undertake the work for Watsons. The gradual nature of the project is due to the wish of the farmer, whose land is being quarried, that the land not being immediately quarried is kept in use for as long as possible. This has resulted in three phases of evaluation, so far, each comprising a segment of land further northwards as the quarrying encroaches on the farmland. The initial work of Phase I was carried out in the southern part of the area during June 1997. The second stage of work, Phase II, was done in June 1998 and examined a block of land immediately northeast of Phase I. Phase III was completed in October 1999 and comprised a strip of land again adjacent to Phase II but further north-east. |
