Description
Trenches 33, 35, 37, 39 and 40 were all examined in detail in the following manner: they were topsoil stripped by JCB using a toothless 1.5m wide ditching bucket and hand cleaned using shovel and trowel to reveal archaeological features which were excavated as appropriate. Trenches 34 and 36 were excavated by JCB to 1.2m depth. Trenches 38 and 41 were topsoil stripped by JCB to expose the subsoil surface. (1)
