Abstract: |
In February 2008 Archaeological Research Services Ltd were commissioned by Carsington Wind Energy Ltd to undertake an archaeological contour and walkover survey which was to be followed by the excavation of a series of evaluation trenches based on the results of this survey. This work was carried out prior to the proposed construction of a windfarm consisting of four turbines and an associated access road. The site of the proposed development lay within Carsington Pasture where a number of prehistoric sites have previously been identified, namely Carsington Cave and Carsington Pasture Bronze Age Barrow. Alongside these there have been numerous stray lithic finds. In more modern times, specifically during the 1800s, the site has been subject to extensive lead-mining and also sand extraction works. |
