Valdoe Contingency Phase begins.

English Heritage, through their administration of Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund, have given the go-ahead to the Valdoe Contingency Phase. This three-month project will work ahead of renewed extraction to sample sediments identified as containing in-situ archaeology in the north-western part of the Valdoe Quarry.

The Contingency Project has provision for five archaeological test pits and a further five boreholes. Through these the nature of the sedimentary sequence, stone age archaeology and environmental character will be ascertained
