Archaeological monitoring of geotechnical investigations along the route for the proposed Liscarton WTP to Proudstown Reservoir Rising Main Replacement commenced on 15 August 2022 and concluded on 18 November 2022.
The proposed scheme is approximately 3,958m in total length, largely through greenfield, with a small section along the existing road network. It will connect Liscartan Water Treatment Plant and Proudstown Reservoir. A total of 35 silt trenches to identify location of existing pipe and 20 trial pits along the wayleave assessing ground conditions for the new pipe were archaeologically monitored.
No features or deposits of archaeological significance were identified during monitoring of groundworks on scheme. As such, no further archaeological mitigation was deemed necessary.
