Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was held over the construction of a water pipeline between Felixkirk and Woodhill Grange. Of the features recorded the most significant was an hitherto unknown medieval trackway and drainage ditch leading towards the north-west corner of Woodhill Moat. The pottery recovered from the Moat suggested a medieval date and it was considered likely that the track was contemporary with the use of the moated site. Elsewhere along the corridor, ridge and furrow earthworks were recorded at Hag House and, on the basis of the absence of road makeup deposits recorded in pits at 'Area 2' of the pipeline, it was suggested that the Roman road underlay the present road at this point.
