Description
Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken during groundworks to prepare Carters Pasture for cultivation, including the installation of land drains and the use of a cultivator. The watching brief consisted of monitoring during the use of a bulldozer at the site, fieldwalking after the installation of land drains and a measured survey of the earthworks. See EEX25850 for the initial field observation of the earthworks, and EEX25863 for the subsequent archaeological excavation of one of the house platforms which were identified during the watching brief.
