| Abstract: |
An evaluation comprising fieldwalking and geophysical survey was undertaken, with areas identified as being of archaeological potential in the earlier desk-based assessment being trial trenched by JCB. Trenches were placed on the side of the easement nearest the archaeological potential as identified. In several instances archaeological deposits were observed which were subsequently buried by the bunding of topsoil and subsoil. This work attempted to identify areas of archaeological potential and their extents within the easement. On the basis of the evaluations it was recommended that excavation and record be emplyed for a number of targeted areas along the line and that a watching brief be maintained over other parts of the line. This study was able to gain most detailed information for ten sites which ranged from Upper Palaeolithic or Early Mesolithic to Roman date. [Au] |
