Full Description
A watching brief was carried out at this site over the excavation of the footprint and associated ground works of a new wind turbine by Headland in August 2009. The watching brief revealed up to 5m of topsoil over a geological deposit of stone-rich clayey sand. No finds or features of archaeological significance were identified, and it seems that any activity related to the airfield did not extend into the monitored area. No known features associated with the airfield nor any archaeologically visible features were compromised during this phase of works.
