Abstract/Summary
Report detailing the results of a archaeological watching brief and an (Palaeolithic) test pit evaluation within the extended Eastern Quarry construction compound. Artefact-bearing gravel was revealed in the trench for the digestion tank The gravel contains abundant Palaeolithic flint artefacts, probably reflecting repeated
manufacture of handaxes either at the Site itself, or on slightly higher, drier
ground immediately to the south-west.
