Abstract: |
Northamptonshire Archaeology was commissioned by the Forestry Commission to carry out a walkover survey in Bedford Purlieus Wood, Thornaugh, Peterborough. Two areas, totalling 36 hectares defined by the Forestry Commission, were surveyed by in March 2010. A detailed measured survey of a Second World War earthwork platform was also undertaken. A number of features were noted during the walkover survey, including former extraction pits, saw-pits, a series of woodland earthworks and drainage ditches. Within the survey area are the remnants of a number of Second World War military structures including former munitions stores. |
