Abstract: |
A watching brief monitoring remediation works on a foul pipe damaged during a landslip at Farnley Grange. Three trenches were excavated, two trenches to gain access to the pre-existing pipe and a third trench to lay an inter-connecting pipe to bypass the damaged section. The watching brief occurred within the boundaries of Farnley Grange Scheduled Monument (NHLE 1009156) and all groundworks were carried out with the permission of Historic England under Class 5 Consent. Farnley Grange Scheduled Monument consistsof three Roman Temporary Camps. The route of the groundworks bisected the north-eastern corner of Camp 3. No evidence for the defensive ditches were identified during the watching brief, however two north-west - south-east aligned ditches potentially related to a later expansion to the marching camp were identified at the eastern extent of the pipe trench. Both ditches were unexcavated and remain preserved in-situ as they were identified at the maximum impact depth. |
