Abstract: |
A watching brief was maintained during the mechanical excavation of a service trench linking a new borehole to a number of drinking troughs for livestock (Figure 1). The monitoring was undertaken over a three day period in June 2016. The trench ran across undulating chalk downland laid to pasture, and crossed the alignment of a cross dyke, (a Scheduled Ancient Monument consisting of a linear bank and associated ditch) on Woolavington Down, c.625 m to the east of Tegleaze Farm (List Ref. 1015964). The trench crossed part of the monument previously damaged by the insertion of a gateway between two pasture fields. No archaeological features or deposits were encountered during the watching brief, although a background scatter of flintwork was recovered, representative of utilisation of the downland over long periods of prehistory. No surviving above- or below-ground remains of the Scheduled cross dyke were disturbed during the work, which confirmed that the section of the monument crossed by the pipe trench had already been compromised by the gateway. |
