Description

Thirteen trenches were excavated at land at Valley Farm, Newton in order to establish the impact of the construction of a reservoir on potential buried archaeological remains. No archaeological feature or finds were identified. The stratigraphy identified across the site comprised a single homogeneous layer of mid-to dark brown clayey silt topsoil overlying the natural silt substrate which contained large pockets of fractured flint. The topsoil was between 0.25m and 0.4m thick.
