Description
A watching brief was carried out where widening of the road cutting was likely to impact Pleistocene deposits with Palaeolithic potential. The investigation focused on the east side of the Belhus Park cutting, where widening of the road in June-July 2011 impacted upon Corbets Tey/Lynch Hill terrace deposits that had a previous record of Palaeolithic and palaeo-environmental finds from the initial construction of the M25 in 1979-1980.
