What we are doing
We have recently carried out archaeological survey and trial trench evaluation work to identify areas of possible archaeological interest. The next stage of our investigation work will involve topsoil excavation, mitigating and recording artefacts at four locations:
- Blackgrounds Farm,
- North of Thorpe Mandeville,
- South East of Thorpe Mandeville; and
- Greatworth Hall.
Within these sites we have identified areas of archaeological interest and these works will enable a greater understanding of the history of the area. Once the work is completed, the excavated areas will be reinstated. The investigations will be undertaken by teams of archaeologists using mechanical excavators and hand tools. There will be archaeologists, plant operators and management teams on site.
