Description

The site was visited during the unpicking of the infill blocking the west door of the barn and the adjacent ground floor double light window immediately to the south. The openings were unpicked by hand by the property owner. The door had been blocked in two separate phases of work and was unpicked in reverse of the build sequence. The window was blocked with a double row of second hand bricks. Monitoring of external trenching close to the building for electricity cable only showed deep homogenous brown silt/loam, see ESF24001 and EYE 132 (S1).
