Site Event/Activity record ESF25425 - Monitoring - Percolation test pits, Kennedy Street and Nato Place, RAF Lakenheath

Archaeological monitoring was undertaken during the excavation of five 2m x 2m pits in advance of compaction and percolation soil tests. nitial excavation for the first phase of soil testing was to a depth of between 0.6m and 0.75m from ground level. In three of these, natural sand was reached and no further monitoring required. The remaining two were monitored again as they were deepened to 2m for the second stage of testing. Archaeology was only seen in one of the pits where a north-south ditch was found. A single worked flint was recovered from Pit 2.
