Abstract: |
The mechanical excavation of 225m of cable trenching was monitored at RAF Molesworth, Cambridgeshire. The monitoring was carried out over four visits to the site between the 15th of February and 13th of March 2013 and was conducted as a condition for planning application 1101483FUL. The monitoring identified a severe degree of truncation across the whole development area that is likely to have resulted from the airbases original construction. A number of cables and residual concrete footings were recorded, demonstrating the impact of the previous groundworks. A single ditch feature (0005) was recorded towards the south-eastern extent of the development area. The ditch is likely to have been excavated for drainage and was cut into a thick layer of silt that also contained occasional modern brick fragments and charcoal flecks. |
