Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by UK Power Networks Service to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the excavation of cable trenches for a replacement high voltage cable from between Fargo Road and Willoughby Road (NGR 412456 143736) to the primary substation at Strangways (NGR 413711 143395) at Larkhill, Wiltshire which was undertaken intermittently between 30 March to 18 June 2020. The works comprised the second phase of replacement cable works and would link up with the recently completed cable trench excavated between the substation at Durrington Down Farm and the access road to the Larkhill Waste Water Treatment Works (WWTW). The works involved the installation of a buried HV cable link via mechanical excavation of an open cut trench to lay ducting for the cable, with backfilling of the utility trench completed as works progressed along the route. A total of 16 features were identified during the monitored works, all dating to the 20th century and related to World War One activity in the area, which were concentrated in the middle section of the cable trench. Made ground deposits were observed in a paddock field located at the eastern end of the cable route, and in a section of the cable trench which ran through the WWTW, as well as a few earlier services. |
