Abstract: |
A watching brief was maintained on the excavation for an access road and parallel water pipe trench to a new build residential development. The monitoring was required because cists had been found in the 19th century in a nearby field to the east of the site and it was considered that these may have extended into the development area. The access road cut was 3.50m wide and 0.30m deep and observed for 70m from its start at the S end next to the site boundary stone wall. A small boulder was found in the top soil which was considered to be naturally in-situ. A 0.80m deep and 0.65m wide pipe trench was excavated 1m to the W of and parallel to the access road. A field drain was revealed in the pipe trench. The monitoring revealed nothing of archaeological significance in either excavation. It was concluded that the cists did not extend into the area monitored. SUAT concluded that no further archaeological work was required for this project. |
