Abstract: |
This report details the archaeological observation programme undertaken by Border Archaeology for Laing O'Rourke, on behalf of Dwr Cymru Welsh Water (DCWW) in the village of Weobley Herefordshire. The area where the works were undertaken corresponds to scheme maps E131-05, E131-08 and E131-09 supplied by Laing O'Rourke / DCWW. Herefordshire Council advised on October 11th 2004 (Ref. 2004/Laing/113) that an archaeological watching brief should be conducted in specific areas of archaeological sensitivity, namely within and immediately around the historic town of Weobley. The groundworks formed part of DCWW's refurbishment programme, the exact locations of which were determined by engineering considerations, archaeological observation being required in order to observe the excavation of access pits and to record as appropriate any remains, features and finds wherever located within the working area, thus providing a formal measure of the impact of the engineering works (whether positive or negative). The principal method of mains renewal carried out was pipe bursting, which required the excavation of access pits to allow bursting rigs to be installed and intermediate pits to access service pipes to individual properties. This report was completed in July 2007 after due consultation that no return to the area for water quality assurance reasons was envisaged. Copies of this report will be submitted to DCWW, Laing O'Rourke, Herefordshire Council and the county Sites and Monuments Record. |
