Modern water pipe trench

Phasing

This was the modern drain trench, which runs from the spring in the south to the field boundary in the north, before turning to the north-west in Site 2D. It was the latest event in the history of the site.

Discussion

It was quickly recognised that this was the modern drain trench, containing a blue plastic water pipe which carries the current output from the spring in the south-east corner of Area 11AD.  It was not comprehensively excavated, apart from where it cut through the earlier features.

The drain was cut into sand & gravel, with a U-shaped profile.
