ENN109370 - Catesby Aero, 2018 (Trial trench)

{1} Ground clearance prior to development uncovered a former railway building, which was recorded. A single trench was dug north-east from this building, measuring 27m long x 1.8m wide. Within the trench lay the brick foundations of both sides of the former Charwelton Station platform, 6-bricks thick in a mixture of Staffordshire blue engineering brick (outer edges) and red brick elsewhere, both types being featureless, and measuring on average 230mm x 115mm x 85mm. The platform had been 7.7m wide, across the exterior edges of the foundations. Between track and the excavated building, lay an area of gravelling, the former goods yard.
