Abstract:		 Earthwork Survey The earthwork survey methodology was guided by Understanding the Archaeology of Landscapes (Historic England 2017), Traversing the past (HE 2016), The Role of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) in Archaeological Field survey (HE 2015) and Metric Survey Specifications for Cultural Heritage (HE 2015), and was caried out using a combination of Leica Viva series “SmartRover” (real-time kinematic) RTK GPS and Leica TS12/TS15 robotic Total Station (TST) instruments. The Leica RTK GPS is quoted as +/- 20mm in accuracy for all 3D observations and measurements and the Leica TS15 has a quoted horizontal and vertical accuracy of 5”. The topographical features such as earthworks were surveyed as breaks-of-slope Watching Brief The watching brief comprised the observation by a competent archaeologist of all intrusive groundworks associated with the proposed development. These works comprised the machine striping of topsoil and subsoil. In addition, three trenches measuring 15m long by 2m were excavated across the probable Chapelry boundary ditch in the north of the site. Between March 2018 and February 2022, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an earthwork survey and archaeological watching brief during groundworks associated with Woodcote Wood Quarry at Weston Heath, Shropshire. An east/west orientated ditch and bank was identified at the north of the site, believed to be the historic Chapelry boundary. Its extent within the woodland and was not visible in the ploughed fields beyond. No features or deposits of archaeological interest were observed during the watching brief and no artefactual material pre-dating the modern period was recovered.
