Full Description
November 1992 - Initial assessment of archaeological potential along route of proposed road involved walking the length of the road following machine destumping, examining the exposed surfaces. Nothing was seen but this may have been due to the limiting visibility rather than an actual lack of finds. S2
January 1993: Following construction of new forestry carrstone road, strips of circa 5m width on either side, which had been cleared of vegetation/trees and partially of topsoil, were walked after being allowed to weather. A loose, dispersed scatter of five partly patinated worked and one fire crackled flint was centred on cited grid reference, over circa 80m length. A pot/tile sherd of PMed (?) date was also located within this area (S1).
Descriptions of flint finds are broad, dating to a specific period bracket is ill-advised. However, they are probably later Prehistoric, based on details of discovery, (S2).
