Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology were commissioned by AMEC on behalf of their clients Broadview Energy to carry out an archaeologiocal evaluation of 16 trenches in advance of the construction of a wind farm comprising four turbines, a permanent meteorological mast and associated infrastructure on land to the south of Rooks Bridge, Somerset. The trenches were positioned to target plotted archaeological anomalies identified during a geophysical survey. The evaluation comprised the excavation of 12 20m x 2m trial trenches; two 25m x 2m trenches and one 30m x 2m trench No archaeological features or deposits were revealed during the course of the evaluation. It is also notable that no geological features corresponding to the anomalies identified by the geophysical survey were present. Due to the negative results of the evaluation trenches it is unlikely that the DCA for SCC will require any additional archaeological investigation should the scheme proceed. |
