Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during the excavation of trenches for electric cabling on land along Main Street and Washdyke Road, Owston. Trench 1 extended 150m east along Washdyke Road cutting across Main Street and continued south along the grass verge and carriageway of Main Street to the electricity junction box immediately south of Palmer Cottages. Trench 2 extended 35m along the footpath to the west of Manor Farm cutting across Main Street to terminate on the grass verge at the junction with Cox's Lane. Further trenches for service cables were cut across Main Street from Hill Close Farm and across the vehicle access to the east of Main Street at the Old Byre. Other domestic services were connected via sub-surface bored cables. Evidence of an earlier cobblestone road surface in Main Street was exposed in the trenches. No other archaeological remains were present. [Au] |
