Description
The cable route was around 720m long. Topsoil was removed for a width of 7m along the cable corridor and then a 0.6m wide and 1.25m deep cable trench was excavated along the centre of the corridor. Topsoil was replaced immediately following the trench being backfilled. A metal detecting survey of the length of the route was carried out prior and during excavation. Ground reduction was carried out under archaeological supervision using a 360⁰ mechanical excavator with toothless ditching bucket.
