The Oxford Archaeological Unit was commissioned by Union Railways (South) Limited (URS) to monitor all earthworking operations within CTRL Project Area 440. This work formed part of an extensive programme of archaeological investigation and monitoring carried out during the construction of the CTRL.
Project Area 440 consists of all permanent and temporary land-take associated with construction of the CTRL, from North of Sevington Railhead (UR Grid 83500E / 20460N, NGR TR 0350 4045) to Frogholt (UR Grid 98281E / 17168N, NGR TR 1810 3715). This includes the trace (at grade, within cuttings and on embankments), bridges and associated works (mitigation earthworks, construction sites, transformer stations etc.). Project Area 440 extends for a distance of 15.5km.
Areas previously subject to detailed or strip, map and sample excavation were excluded from the works. Areas that are known not to contain significants deposits; for example tunnels, and areas of known large-scale modern disturbance, are also excluded from the Works.
