Abstract:		 The easement strip for a new water main was examined for archaeological features by NAU Archaeology. This was undertaken in an archaeologically sensitive area close to the River Pant near the hamlet of Hawkspur Green, where an historic crossing was thought to have existed. The western half of the easement was obscured by a thick subsoil which was truncated by an 18th/19th-century field boundary. The eastern half of the easement revealed a series of irregular patches, disturbed natural and two parallel ditches. Many of the features were only recorded in plan due to their recent date. No archaeology was observed to the east of the Pant. All of the features appeared to represent late post-medieval activity possibly relating to the extraction and movement of material in the 18th and 19th centuries. A final site visit was made to record the deposits at the base of the directional drilling pit situated in a natural hollow on the eastern side of the river. The deposits appeared to be of natural derivation and contained no cultural material. The deposits here suggest that the river had originally been wider and that it had been subject to alteration. A second directional drilling pit to the east of the river was examined and observed to cut through natural sand, gravel and clay.
