Underground Reservoirs at Starcross Pumping House - Historic Building Record
Published: 2018-05-01
Subjects: Historic Building, Modern Structure, Modern Transport
Due to the confined access to the reservoir, consisting of a single circular opening, the survey used a combination of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), terrestrial laser scanning and photography to produce a descriptive record of the reservoir both for heritage purposes and to inform on-going engineering decisions related to the future of this historic feature. The survey results have been able to [...]

Published: 2017-08-01
Subjects: Iron Age Agriculture, Later Prehistoric Flint, Medieval Agriculture, Romano-British Agriculture
The earliest trace of activity within the site was provided by a small amount of worked flint of probable Neolithic or Bronze Age date, which was recovered from secondary depositional contexts. The earliest significant phase of activity however, was evidenced by a relatively large, re-cut Iron Age ditch, which had been recorded during an earlier evaluation. The excavation also revealed additional [...]
