Description

Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken in May 2018 during the groundworks for a new extension on an outbuilding (CBC planning application 173227). Foundation trenches totalling 17.9m long x 0.6m wide were excavated to a depth of 1.0-1.25m. Three layers were recorded. Modern topsoil (L1, c.0.23-0.30m thick) overlaid modern made ground (L2, c.0.40-0.80m thick). This in turn sealed natural (L3), encountered at a depth of 0.63-1.0m below current ground level. No archaeological remains were encountered during the investigation.<1>
