Hodder Wastewater Treatment Works, Slaidburn, Lancashire Walkover Survey Report

Following consultation with Doug Moir, Planning Officer (Archaeology) for Lancashire County Council, and Kay Morris, Environmental Coordinator for Mott MacDonald Bentley, it was decided that a second phase of recording be undertaken following the cutting of the grass in the required areas on the surviving margins of the field. This secondary phase was undertaken in May 2021, with the reduction in grass levels allowing the positive identification of both the earthworks in the north-eastern corner of Field 1 (Site 4) and the
fragmentary remains of ridge and furrow to the south (Site 5). Both features are likely to be medieval or post-medieval in date and relate to the agricultural management of the land during these periods.
