You bet we do.... however in return... it is up to you... the person in teh field to call teh curator and say... "hey... this is interesting.. I think it is worth further investigation...!" then we can help achieve that .. rather than the silent grumble it is more useful to tell us at the time. A watching brief has caveats (you will have time to excavate features... however if it become complex then the mitigation comes into force.) A watching brief is not a means to an end.. it is a risk for teh developer.. as in teh envent of significant archaeology appearing... then the work must stop...
Trust me!!
personally I only ask for WBs when I think that the potential is so low that it is unlikely that anything will appear.. but just want o be sure.
