This Rapid Appraisal of South East Water's (SEW) proposed Staplecross to Iden: Section 12 Mains Renewal Scheme undertaken by Border Archaeology Ltd (BA) has reached the following conclusion: The archaeological potential of the area traversed by the pipeline route has been assessed as Moderate (with particular reference to evidence for prehistoric and medieval activity). A watching brief is considered to be the most appropriate form of archaeological mitigation, in this instance.
