Abstract: |
The re-siting of overhead electricity supply lines, associated with the construction of the Clapham Bypass, involved ground disturbance in areas identified by the County Archaeological Officer as archaeologically sensitive. Archaeological monitoring of ground disturbance was undertaken. Situated on the eastern slope of the valley of the River Great Ouse, two areas of archaeological interest were identified. The western area was on the lower valley slope in the vicinity of two known sites, HER 329 and HER 5124, which identified Iron Age and Roman archaeological deposits. Up slope towards the crest of the valley, the second area was situated in a location often favoured for settlement, based on excavated sites in the area, although no known sites were recorded at this location. Albion staff monitored the intermittent work over several months in the summer of 2001. No archaeological features or artefacts were revealed. However, removal of the old pylons only provided limited opportunity to examine areas beyond disturbance associated with the bases. It was likely that any substantial features, if present, would have been visible. [Au(abr)] |
