Abstract: |
The groundworks associated with the pylon relocation in the archaeologically sensitive areas included the removal of the old pylon foundations and the stripping of topsoil and subsoil around the location of each new pylon for the installation of a piling mat. Machine-dug trenches excavated to remove the old foundations extended to a depth of c.2m. Deposits encountered comprised topsoil and subsoil, overlying geological deposits. No archaeological remains were found. Two large areas were stripped of soils around each new pylon site to a depth of around 0.4m. It was not possible to observe the initial stripping of the areas prior to installation of the piling mats. Observations carried out following the removal of piling mat revealed undisturbed geological deposits. No archaeological remains were identified. |
