Dear Nick
Re-archaeological watching brief on Land at St Andrew's Church, Bothal, Northumberland, planning reference 05/00323/FUL.
The watching brief associated with the installation of a new oil storage tank at St Andrew's Church, Bothal was undertaken on Monday 26th September 2005. The tank was installed in the area indicated within the specification and was laid on a paved hard standing installed on the ground surface. The pipe to the existing heating boiler within the church was laid within a shallow trench 0.3m wide and 0.2m deep, which did not extend to a sufficient depth to reveal any archaeological features.
The grid reference for the site is NZ 2396 8663. An OASIS reference form has been filled in for the intervention and the OASIS number is: bamburgh1-10641
Yours sincerely
Graeme Young
Project Director
