A Watching Brief, sometimes called archaeological monitoring, requires an archaeologist to be on site during groundworks to maintain a presence in order to identify and record any archaeological remains that may be present. Our experienced team have a track record of delivering an efficient and cost-effective service, minimising any disruption to our clients.

Archaeological Evaluation, often called trial trenching is commonly a consideration at the pre-planning stage and often a requirement as a planning conditions if not undertaken previously. It generally takes the form of a series of exploratory trenches opened under archaeological direction across the footprint of a development in order to evaluate and record the nature of any archaeological features that may be present on the site. Red River aims to ensure these features are highlighted at an early stage to minimise risk to the client, accurately assess the impact to the developments timetable and to co-ordinate an appropriate and informed mitigation strategy well in advance of construction.

Archaeological excavation may be carried out where the preservation of archaeological remains in situ is not possible. Areas requiring excavation will have been previously highlighted in the evaluation process. These represent a major risk to developers, and we work closely with our clients to ensure methodologies, budgets and time frames are agreed in advance of works and delivered with professionalism and expertise.
