Description
A machine trench plus two trial pits was excavated by machine. A linear trench approximately 15m in length was excavated at right angles to the High Street. The ground was much higher than the area around but the top soil was only 0.50m at its deepest point. This clearly indicates the areas on both sides have been substantially reduced.
