Full Description
2003: A desk-based assessment and a programme of trial trenching was carried out to evaluate an area of land at Lound Water Treatment Plant, prior to expansion of the existing treatment facilities. The desk-based assessment showed that the development site had remained unoccupied from at least the middle of the 19th century (S-S3).
Trial trenching (220m sq) revealed just a single ditch (most likely natural in origin) and a pit in SW corner of site in Trench 1. The latter contained a significant quantity of burnt flint, suggesting some enigmatic prehistoric occupation across the site (S4).
