Description
Monitoring of the directional drilling pits and easement excavated through the parkland. Four drill puts were monitored, measuring 3.0m long, 1.6m wide and 1.2m deep. No features were revealed however a small assemblage of finds were recorded. An easement strip in the field to the north-west of the drill pits was also monitored. A dense group of Roman remains were revealed which lead to the ceasing of the machine stripping. The area was re-designated as an archaeological excavation.
