Site Event/Activity record ESF30741 - Evaluation - West Stow Lodge

An attempt was made to open up an evaluation trench to the rear of the current property, at the north-western corner. A live service pipe was identified running down its length which meant that the trench could not be fully opened. Physical constraints precluded moving the trench to a different location so a small sondage was excavated at the north end. The original trench was to have been 10m long and 1.5m wide. In the event, a small sondage some 1m in length and 1.2m in width was excavated to a depth of 1.5m before being abandoned having failed to encounter natural geological deposits.
