Field boundary recording
A number of ‘important hedgerows’ are crossed along the Onshore Cable Route. Where field boundaries are not subject to Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) (in which case they are unaffected), they are physically ‘broken-through’, and thus observable in cross-section.
192
Archaeological recording of important, or any other (subsurface and extant) field boundaries exposed or broken-through by the onshore electrical transmission construction works would be undertaken by monitoring archaeologists during the construction-phase watching brief. The specific aims of the monitoring archaeologists are to observe and record any historic re-defining of field boundaries (earlier walls overlain and obscured by hedges, or re-cut ditches for example), buried land surfaces, and the collection of dating evidence from ditches.
193 Where necessary, negative features would be fully exposed by hand (archaeological excavation).
194
A record of each field boundary would be maintained. Sketched profiles would include dimensions and notes would be taken on both the below and above ground components of all boundaries. A photographic record would also be maintained.
195
Suitable analysis of the body of data generated would be proposed by the Project Archaeologist in consultation with SCC and EH during the project post-excavation assessment stage, with the aim to categorise each boundary form in order to provide an interpretation of its relative importance and, if possible, date.
