Site Event/Activity record ESF21910 - Monitoring - Worlington Quarry 2012 Phase, Worlington

Monitoring of a topsoil strip at Worlington Quarry, Worlington, in Suffolk, revealed evidence of two undated pits. The pits are possibly extensions of the later prehistoric/Bronze Age activity seen in the other projects in the quarry, as well as in the area as a whole. Several large spreads of material were also recorded. These were natural hollows within the superficial geology, infilled with naturally-derived, sterile material. The natural subsoil was largely undisturbed. Project status: Complete Yes, Validated Yes Previous/Future Work: Previous Yes, Future Not known Associated Identifiers: HER event no.
