Abstract: |
United Utilities proposed the installation of a concessionary supplies water pipeline on agricultural land to the west of Extwistle Moor, in Briercliffe, Lancashire (SJ 89000 34330, central point). The area contains many sites of archaeological interest, including numerous prehistoric monuments and settlements of prehistoric and/or Romano-British date. Four such sites, all of which are legally protected as Scheduled Monuments, lay within 100m of the proposed pipeline route. Consequently, the Planning Archaeologist at Lancashire County Archaeological Service (LCAS) advised that a programme of archaeological work should be undertaken. United Utilities commissioned Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) to undertake historical and archaeological research and a walkover survey of the immediate environs of the pipeline. This resulted in the compilation of a gazetteer of 22 sites of archaeological interest, of which five were threatened with potential damage by the pipeline works. LCAS therefore recommended that a topographic survey should be undertaken at these sites, and that an archaeological watching brief should be maintained during ground works associated with the construction of a new switchgear house at the western end of the pipeline, adjacent to the junction of Shay Lane and Monk Hall Lane. OA North was commissioned by United Utilities to carry out these works, which were completed in October 2012. |
