Description
Monitoring of refurbishment of an 11KV cable near Eggardon Hill. Excavations in nine locations for overhead cable supports were monitored over a total distance of about 80m. This was done using a wheeled mechanical excavator with a toothed bucket. The pole sockets were approximately 0.2m wide, 0.6m long and up to 2m deep. The watching brief also took place on the excavation of a cable trench measuring about 230m by 0.6m. This trench was excavated in the same way as the previous pole holes. No finds were recovered during the course of this watching brief
