Site Event/Activity record ESF26323 - Evaluation - Land off Loraine Way, Bramford

2018: Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook an archaeological evaluation on land east of Loraine Way, Bramford. The site was c.13ha. A total of 83 trenches were excavated. Colluvium deposits found in trenches to the immediate north and to the south east of the 20m exclusion zone imposed by the powerlines were investigated to establish any potential for agricultural disturbance of archaeological features within the area beneath the power lines. Sondages were also dug by machine to examine the potential for archaeological features underlying colluvium deposits. A geoarchaeological assessment of the site was undertaken by Phil Stastney, Senior Geoarchaeologist, MOLA. A walkover survey of trenches in the site with geoarchaeological interest was conducted. During the walkover qualitative notes were made of deposits and the site topography. Sedimentary sequences of key trenches were then defined and recorded in detail according to geoarchaeological criteria. Four deep sondages were made in key trenches (Trenches 1, 19, 21 and 42) to enable further recording of deposits and depths. (S1)
