Field Walking (July 2008)
NH 65131 39070 (centred on) Work was undertaken during July 2008 to assess the impacts of the construction of a substation. Nine sites were identified. One site dates to the Neolithic and three could potentially date to the Bronze Age. The presence of so many sites in the study area suggests that although dispersed, there is a high potential for archaeological remains ranging in date from the Neolithic to the post-medieval period.
