Abstract: |
The programme of archaeological investigation consisted of a strip, map, and record exercise at the north-western end of the development area to record archaeological remains relating to Poulton-le-Fylde's railways (NGR SD 35095 39881). The archaeological fieldwork was undertaken from the 5th to 16th October 2015. The excavation area was located at the north-western end of site and measured 8m north-east/south-west and 30.64m north-west/south-east to the limit of excavation. The area was excavated to a maximum depth of 0.40m below ground level; modern overburden and deposits of limited archaeological significance were excavated using a 13 tonne tracked excavator with a toothless ditching bucket under archaeological supervision. Numerous features attributed to the railway were observed in the form of brick walls, stone-sett surface, concrete column bases, timber rail sleepers and the base of an iron buffer stop, as well as a timber surface. |
