Teams of archaeological experts will be scouring land at Clay Hill as part of two-year-long planning, geological and environmental survey carried out by South East Water to determine if the site is suitable for a new reservoir.
Archaeologists will use conventional methods and 21st century technology to carry out the investigations this spring and summer.
