Archaeological evaluation and recording was undertaken along the route of a new pipeline between Headon China Clay Works and the Lee Moor operational area to the north-west. The route crossed an area of known archaeological sensitivity, with surviving remains and deposits from the prehistoric to the post-medieval periods, including elements of a Bronze Age reave system. Towards the northern end of the pipeline a boundary was invesigated which was apparently built of quarried china clay waste material in the post-medieval period. Other details: Figures 2, 5.
