Description

Thirty-five trial trenches were excavated using a mechanical excavator fitted with a toothless ditching bucket. Trenches 1 and 2 were located to investigate the alluvial deposits associated with an earlier course of St Osyth’s Creek. Trenches measured between 35 and 42 meters long and all were 1.6m wide.
