Abstract: |
Only approximately 23% of the PDA remains potentially undisturbed by quarrying, modern building and tree coverage. This area predominantly covers the south and western section of the site: the southern portion of the site comprises mostly flat grassland: the ground investigation works along this undisturbed section revealed natural geology at between 0.3m deep in the west to 1.8m southeast of the school. The ground investigation works suggest that the south-eastern corner of the site, initially though to have been outside of the quarried area is indeed part of it (with natural geology not encountered at 5m depth), suggesting that the 1940s farm building was likely constructed on reconstituted ground. The land rises sharply north up the slope to the school site and the quarry beyond. Only a small section of potentially undisturbed land remains north of the school and west of the quarry. |
