Watching Brief (6 July 2010)

NO 0810 2510 A watching brief and metal detector survey

were undertaken on 6 July 2010 during groundbreaking

works associated with the installation of a septic tank and

related features (including tailrace and soakaway). Part

of these works crossed the eastern end of a scheduled
