The proposed mains renewal scheme runs along or immediately parallel to a 600m long section of an unclassified lane (Brockley Way) to the NE of Claverham (North Somerset). The route extends E from the junction of Brockley Way and Lower Claverham (NGR ST 4528 6706) and terminates just to the W of the junction of Brockley Way and Littlewood Lane (NGR ST 4585 6712) At the time of writing, the proposed engineering methodology had not been finalised, but is likely to be either directional drilling (requiring the excavation of access pits) or open-cut trenching, or a mixture of both. This rapid appraisal constitutes a rapid trawl of archaeological databases and other readily available sources of historical and archaeological information (where deemed appropriate) to identify whether a proposal has a potential archaeological dimension requiring further clarification.
