What we are doing
We previously informed you about archaeological test pitting work on land off Bangley Lane, originally programmed for the 5th April. Unfortunately, unforeseen constraints caused a delay.
This work is now due to start from Monday 17th May for around 1 week (subject to weather and site conditions).
A team of archaeologists will be working on the site to excavate localised test pits within a one hectare area. Machinery will be used to remove the topsoil before archaeologists dig by hand and carefully record any findings.
To enable the works, a small compound will be set up with welfare facilities and a parking area.
