Abstract: |
Border Archaeology was instructed by Stewart Faulkner of Laing O'Rourke to undertake a programme of archaeological observation and field evaluation in respect of by the Fownhope Trunk Mains Scheme, extending from Dinedor through the villages of Holme Lacy, Mordiford and Woolhope to the DCWW facility at Woolhope Cockshoot. Three locations within the pipeline corridor were identified as archaeologically sensitive: 1. The eastern end of a large field to the S of Dinedor deserted medieval village (NGR SO 5335 3655: SMR Record No. 1001), where two distinct linear features are visible running N-S 2. An area of water meadow to the N of the B4399 at Holme Lacy Bridge exhibiting evidence of earthwork features (NGR SO 5670 3660: Not listed on SMR database) 3. Fields located immediately S of Mordiford village adjacent to the B4224 Mordiford to Fownhope road, which have revealed a series of inhumation burials (NGR SO 5702 3690: SMR Record Nos. 8951, 8952). The initial phase of groundworks, namely the removal of topsoil along the pipeline wayleave corridor, was subject to a programme of archaeological observation at Locations 1 and 2. Location 3 was additionally subject to archaeological field evaluation, with trenching excavated in selected locations to determine the nature and extent of any surviving archaeological remains, specifically the series of human burials presumed to lie within the vicinity of the pipeline corridor. |
