Abstract: |
This report sets out the results of an Archaeological ‘Strip and Record’ excavation that was carried out during the groundworks associated with the erection of a 50kw wind turbine at Low Cowlam Farm, Driffield Road, Cowlam, East Yorkshire (SE 96882 64394). The development had the potential to affect archaeological remains associated with a landscape spanning the prehistoric to medieval periods. Accordingly, the developer was required by Humber Archaeology Partnership to arrange for a programme of Archaeological Works to be carried out during the groundworks associated with the development. The installation of the wind turbine base involved the preliminary topsoil strip of an area c. 5m by 5m using a tracked excavator with a broad, toothless ditching bucket, operating under close archaeological supervision. Machining ceased at the top of archaeological or naturally formed deposits, depending upon which was located soonest. The machine subsequently excavated the trench for the cable under archaeological supervision. No archaeological features, deposits or finds were present within the turbine base or cable trench. |
