Description

Contractors hand excavated three test pits. The holes were c.3m long, 0.5m wide and 1m deep. No archaeological features or artefacts were recorded. … The test pits confirm the sediments in the study area are predominantly 'made ground' deposits, probably associated with construction of the power station.
