Abstract: |
The evaluation did reveal the form of the original wagonway, but no original trackway artefacts were recovered in situ. Two parallel rows of settings for stone sleeper blocks were located and those blocks would have carried cast iron fish-bellied rails for the standard 4 foot 8.5 inches gauge. The track was flanked by stone walls with one site, to the north-east of the rails, having been rebuilt three times. [Au(abr)] |
