Green Lane, Garstang, Lancashire. Archaeological Watching Brief.

A watching brief was undertaken by Oxford Archaeology North in early December 2005 at Green Lane, Garstang, Lancashire (SD 4927 4700). Persimmon Homes Ltd propose to develop the site, which lies within an area of recognised archaeological
potential, into residential dwellings. Following a request for an archaeological watching brief by Lancashire County Archaeology Service, Oxford Archaeology North was commissioned to undertake the works during any excavation activity along the access road to the site.
In the event, through circumstances beyond the control of Oxford Archaeology North, most of the groundworks were completed in the absence of an archaeological presence, and those that were conducted under archaeological observation yielded nothing of any archaeological significance.
