Lydd Ranges Sea, Defence Scheme - Geoarchaeological Borehole Survey

Wessex Archaeology

Wessex Archaeology (WA) was commissioned to undertake a program of geoarchaeological works in support of the Lydd Ranges Sea Defence Scheme. In order to offset the impact of coastal defence improvement works on deposits of geoarchaeological interest in the Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay SSSI, a programme of
geoarchaeological works was required on the foreshore, Green Wall and within marshland landward of the current Green Wall. The works target three areas of marsh (Zones, C, E and G) located between gravel ridges of the Dungeness Foreland.
