Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology carried out a watching brief in a backfilled former quarry to meet a planning condition placed on planning consent for the construction of a concrete batching plant and ancillary facilities. The site is 70m east of Worth's Cattedown Bone Cave, a Scheduled Ancient Monument known to contain deposits, in the cave and in associated fissures, of the Devensian Glacial with human and faunal remains of Middle to Late Upper Palaeolithic date. All deep foundations that impacted on the limestone bedrock were monitored to ensure that any additional archaeological deposits of similar importance encountered in any previously unrecorded fissures could be preserved in situ or, as a last resort, recorded and removed for appropriate analysis. A pair of parallel clay-filled fissures, aligned north - south and c.0.50m apart, was observed in the side and floor of a receiving hopper pit, which covered an area of c.25sq m, 5m below the modern surface. No artefacts were noted. Elsewhere an area of 202sq m of limestone bedrock exposed to construct foundations for the plant revealed only undisturbed bedrock.
