Description
Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out in advance of the construction of a side extension, garage and new highway access (CBC application 162598). Foundation trenches for the extension and garage measured 0.6m wide x 1m deep (extension) and 0.7m deep (garage). They were excavated through 0.1-0.12m of tarmac onto modern topsoil (L1, c.0.1m thick, medium brown sandy-silt) which sealed natural sands and gravels (L2). The new highway access was stripped of tarmac (0.1-0.12m thick) only. No archaeological features or finds were observed.<1>
