January 1993. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of groundworks associated with widening of existing road.
Although these works crossed the postulated line of the Roman Pye Road (NHER 7947) at this location no deposits associated with this road could be seen in the sections examined. If, as suggested, this section of its line is represented by a north-to-south aligned farm track it is possibly that its use has destroyed any traces of the original road.
The only features observed were a small undated gully, a modern well and a modern pipe trench.
No finds were recovered.
See report (S1) for further details [1].
