Abstract: |
W B Grieve commissioned SUAT Ltd to carry out an archaeological watching brief and limited excavation at Leys of Marlee stone circle after a lorry accidentally collided with and pushed over one of the stones. The work, carried out the 28th of October, consisted of monitoring the removal of the stone, the excavation of its socket, and supervising the replacement of the stone so that it was set back in its original orientation and position. The excavation revealed that the stone had originally been held tightly into position by packing stones which were found on three sides of the stone socket. No other evidence of note was discovered. After excavation, the stone was placed back in its original position and wedged tightly into the socket using new packing stones. The site code was LY01 |
