Abstract: |
This watching brief was carried out during the excavation of a trench to carry electricity cables to supply light to the Reculver Towers. The Towers and the Roman fort surrounding the church are a Scheduled Ancient Monument (27). The cable ran across the monument east to west at a point 55m west of the Roman east gate. It then ran parallel to and to the south of the pathway and adjacent small wall in a westerly direction for about 83m. The trench was then angled north-west and below the graveyard of the church. Due to the shallow nature of the trench, only topsoil deposits consisting of made ground were encountered. At no time were any stratified archaeological deposits or features encountered and the only damage to the monument was to modern grass levels and re-deposited topsoil. [Au(adp)] |
