Description
Geophysical survey along the preferred route of the A556 improvement between the M6 and M56 in order to identify sites requiring further evaluation. The bulk of the report contains data produced by West Yorkshire Archaeoloigcal Service but a further piece of geophysical survey work carried out earlier by GSB Prospection in 2009 between the A50 and Bucklowhill Lane (Area 1) and a much smaller block of land at the southern end of the proposed route (Area 2) is also included as an appendix. The reports should be read in conjuction with R2905 and R2011, two earlier desk-based assessments produced by Jacobs (for Capita) and UMAU.
