Activities

Watching Brief (August 2009 - September 2009)

NJ 9321 2500 (centred on) A watching brief was undertaken during all ground-breaking work at this site in August – September 2009. A number of features were identified, all of which were interpreted as being post-medieval. These included the remains of three probable field boundaries and a stone culvert. The partial removal of a large in situ boulder using plug and feather was recorded. The well preserved and extensive remains of broad rig, which had limited the preservation of earlier deposits or features in these areas, were also recorded.
