Field walking and trial trenching by Howard Brooks Archaeological Services at Langford Waterworks, 1992-1993 - EEX53981

The old waterworks site lies in an area of cropmarks and, prior to proposals for redevelopment, a field evaluation was carried out, in three stages. First, fieldwalking of the 4 ha field north of the waterworks (centred TL 828 094): second, fieldwalking of a 6 ha field east of Ulting Lane, and on the road frontage of the present waterworks (centred TL 833 091); and third, two trial trenches cut through the short axis of two of the proposed buildings in the area behind the old waterworks. This had been covered with sludge pumped out from the old filtration tanks, and was therefore unsuitable for fieldwalking. NRHE data transfer: Fieldwalking survey in three stages was carried out in an area of cropmarks, followed by trial trenching.
