Abstract

The archaeological work will be carried out in accordance with the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists Code, Regulations and Standards ii) larger discrete features will be half-sectioned (50% excavated); iii) long linear features will be excavated to sample 20% of their length - with investigative excavations distributed along the exposed length of any such feature. Whether any further excavation is required will be confirmed with the HEP (Arch). Should the above excavation not yield sufficient information to allow the form and function of archaeological features/deposits to be determined, full excavation of such features/deposits may be required. No archaeological contexts were recovered in this project.
