Monument record 15756 - Field Boundary at Crown Farm Quarry

<1> Oxford Archaeology North, 2008, Crown farm Quarry, Oakmere, p.8 , 3.2.1 (Client Report). SCH5138.

A rubble field boundary was found during an archaeological watching brief during a topsoil strip at Crown Farm Quarry in 2008 of a 40m wide corridor in advance of extraction along the line of a projected Roman road.

Above the topsoil, in the central section of the watching brief area the remains of a field boundary was discovered, close to the northwest/south-east running trackway shown on modern OS mapping. This was made up of rubble and was 2.5m wide and 0.5m deep. Below the topsoil was a light-mid orange sand with inclusions of rounded stones.

No finds were retrieved and no significant archaeological features were observed.
