Full Description

{1} Trenches 63, 64, 65 and 66 at the northern end of the proposed road corridor were excavated in a reinstated area which had previously been quarried for ironstone.
[NB. Report also mentions that Trench 62 also showed extensive disturbance, probably from the former railway embankment here. 1950s mapping shows T62 as having been dug in an area occupied by a modern road which enclosed the area being quarried.]
