Abstract: |
This watching brief records the observations made by Nick Hanks MA ACifA, during the installation of railway sleepers as additional steps at the lower end of a flight of concrete steps across the most archaeologically sensitive area of Brean Down. This area has suffered from erosion due to this being the main visitor access on to the down. Nick Hanks was acting for the National Trust in a voluntary capacity observing the limited excavation of material on the 10th January 2017 prior to installing the steps. All the material that was exposed or removed by the contractors (Guy Manning Countryside Services) was either sterile sand devoid of archaeological material, or material previously placed here by the National Trust to deal with the erosion. |
