SDO15017 - 'Tanglewood', Winterborne Stickland, Dorset. Archaeological Watching Brief

‘Wessex Archaeology was commission ed by Sue Rix to maintain an archaeological watching brief during groundworks associated with the construction of an extension to the residential property of ‘Tanglewood’, Winterborne Stickland, Dorset (NGR 382972 104388). The archaeological watching brief was a requirement relating to a condition attached to a planning application (application no. 2/2016/0825/HOUSE) for the proposed house extension, issued by the Local Planning Authority, North Dorset District Council. The watching brief was carried out on 5 th October 2016. No archaeological features, deposits or finds were recorded during the course of the watching brief. The overlying garden soils had been disturbed and reworked, probably during a previous side extension to the property, though the underlying natural deposits did not seem to have been widely truncated or impacted from this modern activity. The underlying natural was variable, with clay, flint, gravel and degraded chalk all recorded within the excavated foundation trenches.’
