Description
A watching brief was undertaken by M. Medlycott on the 5/2/2016. A foundation test pit (around 1m deep) adjacent to the south wall of large open-sided shed established it had a brick course foundation resting on a concrete slab. A 40cm deep cable-trench next to the road revealed the previous cinder-track , this apparently extended to the other side of the road, meaning the track was originally wider than the current concrete surface. A foundation test pit on the derelict building to the south of the Pilots Ready-room revealed two courses of brick foundations on 12" of concrete foundation. The topsoil averaged 8" thick (20cm), subsoil is heavy clay. No report.
