April-July 1999. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of groundworks associated with construction of Brisley to Bushy Common Pipeline.
A single ditch was identified during the Watching Brief. This feature was located close to Back Lane and produced a small amount of medieval pottery. A number of unstratified finds were also recovered. The worked flints found included a Mesolithic flake and a Late Mesolithic or Early Neolithic 'cutting flake'. The bulk of the assemblage was however of later, Neolithic or Bronze Age date; including two scrapers, a flake core and fourteen flakes.
