Description
A watching brief was undertaken during the construction of a ménage for horses with a surrounding rail post fence to the rear of the property named ‘Oaklyn’ (F/COL/06/0366). The area stripped for the ménage measured 40m x 20m, stripped to a depth of between 160mm in the south and 440mm in the north depending on the undulations of the ground. Some features became visible in the subsoil in the northern part of the site. On closer inspection, these features appeared to be natural or modern. In the southern part of the site, nothing was visible as the topsoil had not been completely stripped off. Some modern flints were retrieved from the spoil heap plus one struck flint flake. <1>
