Abstract: |
The watching brief took place on 14 and 19 September 2017. Around 70 trees (planted around 20 years ago, Steven Lawrence pers comm) were removed from the site by the previous owner and there were large stumps and roots throughout the site. The client used a 5 ton tracked machine with ditching bucket to clear areas of the site to natural subsoil. This included the full extent of the proposed garage, house and driveway including removing the drystone dyke adjacent to the road on the NW of the property, the new access. The topsoil was up to 0.7m deep and the subsoil was rusty brown sand and gravel. The remains of two shallow furrows were identified, one NNW-SSE and one SW-NE. |
