Abstract: |
Affinity Water Ltd undertook river restoration works at the Woodhall Park Estate, Watton-at-Stone. This included the excavation of a new channel around a horseshoe weir and removal of the topsoil from an area, on which the spoil from the excavation of the new channel was to be placed. The restoration project is located within a Registered Park and Garden. The new channel is close to three known cropmarks and the area in general has high potential to contain archaeological remains of prehistoric to the post-medieval date. The works had the potential to affect sub-surface archaeological heritage assets. No archaeological features, deposits or artefacts earlier than the modern period (1750-onwards) were found during river restoration works. No remains of structures or buildings associated with the Woodhall Estate were found. A modern pit was recorded within the new river channel area. |
