Description
The site was excavated in advance of the construction of a new school to examine one of Drury's proposed road routes. A trench, 2m wide by 120m was stripped of top-soil, running north-south across the field at right angles to the proposed route. No features were visible in the undisturbed sub-soil. Several drainage trenches dug by contractors were examined but again no evidence of the road was found.
