Description
Archaeological Evaluation was undertaken along the route of the replacement of high voltage overhead power lines with below-ground cables running from Ipswich to Felixstowe and Shotley in Suffolk to investigate the route's archaeological potential and significance; this would entail trial trench investigation within the majority of the cable route and the monitoring of boreholes within the banks of the River Orwell. A 170 trenches were excavated measuring 15-50m long, with the majority being 30m long and 1.8m to 2.0m wide.
