Description

Watching brief and salvage excavation in an area to be quarried just N of Chainbridge Lane. Three areas containing ditch intersections were monitored during topsoil stripping by back actor using a ditching bucket. Subsequently, 12 linear features were box sectioned by machine, with an adjacent 1m length dug by hand to recover any artefacts for dating. On completion of the allotted time for the salvage excavation, the rest of the topsoil was stripped by box grader then any features recorded by EDM survey. (1) See E185 for 1985 excavation.
