Full Description
PRN 35666
Trial trenching was undertaken over area's of possible disturbance that had originally been identified by geophysical survey. Several limestone quarrying pits were identified together with two sections of a ditch, which the geophysical survey suggests are part of the same ditch. {1}{2}
An intensive archaeological watching brief was undertaken during commercial development on land at Hurlingham Business Park, Fulbeck Heath. The watching brief monitored the removal of topsoil from the site in advance of the excavation of stanchion pits for a new industrial unit, and identified two large quarry pits. The pits were probably used to obtain a source of building stone {3} {4}
