RAF Leeming AOS Refurbishment Leeming, North Yorkshire Archaeological Watching Brief

The works monitored consisted of the excavation of cable trenches and lighting base pits. No archaeological remains were encountered during the watching brief and a similar stratigraphic sequence of deposits was identified across the site. The excavations were generally minor in nature, narrow cable trenches and light bases excavated through the subsoil; modern service infrastructure may have also impacted the survival of archaeological remains. The ground and light conditions throughout the fieldwork were favourable; if archaeological remains had been present, they would have been easily identified. As such, the results can be seen as being an accurate reflection of the absence of archaeology within the monitored areas. No archaeological remains were encountered during the watching brief
