Monitoring of topsoil removal for a residential development on a greenfield site uncovered four scattered pits and a spread. All of the pits were subsoil-cut and had naturally silted up. No artefacts were recovered from these features, which were of an uncertain function and date.
Editor’s note: Although this licence was issued during 2005, the report on the work was not received in time for inclusion in the bulletin of that year.
