Abstract: |
Archaeological field evaluation, via trial trenching, was undertaken by Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd on land south of Smithy Lane, Crewe, on the route of the proposed North West Crewe Package. Two trial trenches were excavated to investigate a series of pit-type anomalies which were identified by an earlier geophysical survey and tentatively interpreted as a possible prehistoric pit alignment. No archaeological remains were encountered in the area of the pit-type anomalies and therefore the planned excavation of a further two trial trenches was abandoned. The geophysical anomalies were caused by magnetically enhanced material used to separate and support a series of field drains from a larger drain pipe. |
