Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief conducted during excavation of launch and receptor pits for directional drilling a water main replacement. Eight pits were dug, measuring between 2-3.9m long by 0.8-4.6m wide and 1.1-1.35m deep (lowest level recorded was 91.47mOD, pit 7). The stratigraphy seen in the pits was generally the same, comprising asphalt overlying bedding gravel lying straight over natural clay. No features of archaeological interest were encountered, some fragments of isolated post-medieval/modern CBM were recovered from pits 7 and 8. Several fragments of iron slag were also recovered from pit 8. All the finds were found in the topsoil/subsoil layers, very close to the ground surface. |
