Abstract: |
A trench was dug by machine using a small width bucket to a total length of 89.60 metres. The trench ran in a north-south direction and was aligned centrally to the existing trackway. At 84.50 metres, the trench angled off in a south-western direction towards the western side of the gate entrance, which was sited at the limit of the excavation (see figure 4). The reason for this trench was for a new feeding trough and associated water supply and as the area is a Scheduled Ancient Monument (Herefordshire Scheduled Ancient Monument No.:10) close supervision by a qualified archaeologist was felt to be a wise precaution. The depths of the trench were measured at every 2 metres from the present ground level. The shallowest depth recorded along the trench (at the 40 metre mark) was 0.78m and the deepest depth was at 15 metres, to a depth of 1.15m. On average the depth of the trench was approximately 1m, and the trench was 0.60m wide. Two features were encountered within the trench which could be associated with stone walling or they may simply be soakaways for drainage. |
