Abstract: |
CFA Archaeology undertook a programme of archaeological evaluation and watching brief prior to the construction of a windfarm at Todmorden Moore, Flower Scar Road, Todmorden, Calderdale. The evaluation was done by auger survey at the proposed locations of the crane pads, turbine bases and access roads. The watching brief monitored the excavation of test-pits for a geotechnical survey. The purpose of the evaluation was to gather information regarding the extent, condition and character of any surviving archaeological remains; namely prehistoric flint artefacts. The auger survey sampled peat and soil from regular transects across each proposed turbine base and crane pad. The transects were spaced at 5m intervals and samples were taken every 1.5m. The depth of the samples taken varied from 0.2m to 2.5m. No significant archaeological deposits were recorded and no finds were recovered from either the auger survey or the watching brief. |
