Epperstone Water Pipeline, Chapel Lane, Nottinghamshire - Archaeological Watching Brief

Wessex Archaeology

Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to undertake a watching brief on works associated with the installation of a new water main. The pipeline crossed around 500 m of agricultural land, north of Epperstone, Nottinghamshire and centred on NGR SK 65184 49333.

The natural mid-reddish brown silty clay substrate was reached 0.2–0.4 m below ground level within the service channel, sealed beneath mid-brown silty clay subsoil and topsoil.

No archaeological remains were identified, and no finds were recovered. No deposit was identified that was considered suitable for environmental sampling.
