Monument record MUN 040 - Evaluation at Trinity Hall Farm, Moulton

Evaluation prior to the construction of a new reservoir and filling basin. No archaeological features were uncovered at the location of the reservoir, but a palaeochannel containing a background scatter of Late Neolithic flints and Early Bronze Age pottery was present. Evidence of post-medieval field boundaries and a modern quarry pit were seen at the location of the filling basin alongside a small, discrete deposit of burnt flints dating from the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age (S1).

The monitoring was carried out during the mechanical excavation of an 0.5m wide, 1.2m deep and 1200m long pipe trench connecting a filling basin, reservoir and pumping station. No features of archaeological interest were encountered during the monitoring. A handful of struck flint flakes were recovered from the topsoil close to the filling basin and a small post-medieval glass and china dump was encountered at the top of Folly Hill (S2).
