Description
{1} A machine-dug trench was opened to establish the presence of a culvert in order to confirm its location, depth, construction and condition on land east of the church of St Mary’s. The culvert was located at c1.5m below the current ground surface. Its brick arch suggests a nineteenth century date. Overlying soils displayed evidence of tip lines suggestive of ground raising indicating the culvert was constructed within a larger depression and then covered, rather than being trenchbuilt.
