Abstract: |
United Utilities proposed the construction of 2km of pipeline, to be laid between Ellesmere and Whittington, Shropshire (from NGR SJ 33911 33328 to SJ 35439 34575). Following a brief produced by Shropshire County Council Historic Environment Countryside Advisor, Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) was commissioned to undertake rapid archaeological desk-based research and a walkover survey of the proposed pipeline route (OA North 2009). As a result of this report it was recommended that an archaeological watching brief be carried out during topsoil stripping activities along the route of the proposed pipeline easement. OA North was subsequently commissioned by United Utilities to carry out the watching brief, which took place during September 2009. The rapid research served to highlight the presence of earthwork remains relating to Old Marton Hall (Site 12), and the Grade 2* listed Old Hall (Site 21). Although neither of these sites lies within the direct route of the pipeline easement, the potential for further unknown remains to be associated with them could not be ruled out. The watching brief targeted the easement in the proximity of the two sites. |
