Watching Brief (25 July 2017)
NM 28429 24052 A watching brief was undertaken during the machine excavation of four SI test pits and four percolation test pits, on 25 July 2017, at and around the current village hall, in advance of a funding application for a new village hall. A buried black silt loam soil and a yellow brown sandy silt were identified in three of the four percolation test pits and an over deepened topsoil, the base of which may be a buried soil, in two of the test pits. Struck lithics, possibly dating to the Neolithic period were recovered from the black silt loam in the three of the percolation test pits and a single lithic was recovered from topsoil in Test Pit 4.
