Abstract: |
A planning application was made by Mr S Threlfall for the construction of an extension to the rear of 53 Dowbridge (SD 434 318), in Kirkham, Lancashire. As the property lies in the vicinity of a Roman Fort, Lancashire County Archaeology Service (LCAS) advised the local planning authority that a condition of development should be that any intrusive ground works associated with this construction would be subject to an archaeological watching brief. These requirements were conveyed in a verbal brief by Doug Moir of LCAS and Oxford Archaeology North (OA North)was subsequently commissioned by Mr Threlfall to undertake those works necessary to release the planning condition. The watching brief was undertaken on the 1st June 2009. The groundworks consisted of the excavation of a continuous trench defining the building footprint, and some superficial scraping of the ground surface. The trench was 0.7m deep by 0.70m wide and about 20m in overall length. No finds or features of archaeological significance were encountered within any of the trenches, or within the areas subject to mechanised scraping. |
