Power Line Pole Refurbishment Trowbridge to Hawkeridge Wiltshire

In November 2011 and February 2012 Oxford Archaeology undertook an
archaeological watching brief during refurbishment of the overhead power line
between Trowbridge and Hawkeridge.
The route covered three sites of archaeological interest at Arnold's Hill Deserted Medieval Village, Southwick Country Park and Court Farm Deer Park. The watching brief observed the excavations for seven replacement poles and for the plumbing of twelve leaning poles within these areas. No archaeological stratigraphy or artefacts
were encountered. The watching brief also monitored and advised plant and vehicle access which successfully avoided or minimised impacts to the upstanding earthworks
