Description
A programme of archaeological excavation and monitoring of construction groundworks took place following two stages of evaluation ahead of the construction of an Earth-Shelter Eco-House. Machining of excavation areas 1-3, which measured 36sqm, 115sqm and 59sqm in size respectively, involved the removal of topsoil and layers of modern build up/imported material. Subsoil was a light mid-brown stony sand with moderate stones and mortar. Removal of this exposed the natural geology of mid to pale yellow loose sands with moderate small to medium rounded flint gravel (S1).
