Description
{1} Test Pit excavations (a grid of nine 1m square test pits over an area of 15m x 15m) within the footprint of the proposed wind turbine, revealed boulder clay at depths of between 0.26 and 0.28m below existing ground level. Hollows of silty clay in some areas were interpreted as having derived from medieval or, more likely, post medieval/modern arable cultivation. No artefacts were located in material excavated from the test pits.
