Abstract: |
University of Leicester Archaeological Services were commissioned by British Waterways to undertake an archaeological watching brief during exposure and improvement of the inclined plane. Works included the removal of paths and tracks, and the exposure of original surfaces and the restoration of the original gradients on the lower halves of both inclines. During the later part of the 20th century the upper halves have been restored and maintained while the lower halves have been neglected and become considerably overgrown. The aims of the proposed works were to stabilise and enhance the monument as well improve visitor understanding. |
