Abstract: |
The Brogborough Pipeline Relay is part of the CEMEX UK Ltd, Kensworth to Rugby pipeline renewal project. The c.700m section of new pipeline lies approximately 800m to the north-east of Brogborough. These works comprised the archaeological monitoring of groundworks associated with the pipeline's installation, and the recording, investigation and reporting of any archaeological remains that were exposed. The archaeological works identified two ditches and one large pit. Both ditches most likely functioned as drainage and/or boundary features and, although no dating evidence was recovered from either, their character, probable function and location suggest they are post-medieval or later in origin. The function and date of the pit is not clear. However, post-medieval quarrying is known to have occurred in the vicinity therefore it is likely that such a large pit represents an extension of this activity. None of the archaeological remains found during the pipeline works appear to represent features of great antiquity or unusual form. They are therefore considered to be of limited archaeological interest and significance. |
