Description
Three cross-shaped trenches were excavated to target the geophysical anomaly of three salterns. Each cross limb was originally intended to be 15m long from the centre, but the Eastern sides of Trenches 1 and 3 were foreshortened to allow a 9m standoff from the adjacent drain. The trenches were excavated by mechanical excavator using a 1.8m wide toothless ditching bucket.
