Abstract:		 The excavation was carried out on the proposed line of an access road to be constructed between the A63 and Thorpe Park Business Park. The road intersected a north-south linear monument known as Grim's Ditch and its associated bank. The ditch and bank were identified as well as a later ditch. A buried soil and former turf line marker were identified beneath the bank and the stratigraphic sequence of both bank and ditch were clearly visible in the sections. The radiometric dating of charcoal from the ditch indicated a construction date of the monument in the late Bronze Age and subsequent redefinition in the Romano-British period. Analysis of the bank deposits and buried soil horizon had yielded valuable information concerning the local paleoenvironmental at the time of construction and its subsequent infilling. [Au]
