Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by SSE Power Distribution, to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the replacement of overhead power cables with their underground equivalents within the eastern part of the Salisbury Plain Training Area (SPTA) on Perham Down , centred on National Grid Reference SU 26222 49352. The development comprised the replacement of three existing overhead lines with two 33kV underground cables and an 11Kv cable to facilitate the installation of a new tank track crossing. Part of the proposed tank track ran under existing power cables and Defence Estates had requested that these cables be re-routed underground to enable the tank crossing to be safely sited. The Assistant County Archaeologist advised an archaeological watching brief should be undertaken during the excavations to record anything of archaeological interest. The watching brief was maintained during the excavation of the cable trench and the test pits for the telegraph poles and associated stays. Despite the potential for archaeological remains, nothing of interest was recorded during the excavations. The fieldwork was carried out between the 25th September and the 10th October 2012. |
