On 6 July 2020, an archaeological observation was conducted during mechanical earthworks related to gas pipeline construction in Cinkota, in Csobogó Street, located north of the Szilas Stream. At the time of observation, the majority of the approximately 156-meter-long trench—60–80 cm wide and 1.20 m deep, running along the southern side of the unpaved road from the direction of Simongát Road—had already been backfilled.
In the open sections of the utility trench, a modern fill layer composed of gravel and debris was observed beneath the crushed stone road surface. On the northern side of the road, in the service trenches, the natural soil layers were visible.
On the hillside sloping northeastward from the floodplain, groundwater moving downslope surfaced near plot no. 17 of Csobogó Street on the northern side of the unpaved road and drained into the marshy area on the southern side. Groundwater was reached at a depth of 80–90 cm in the lateral trenches.
During surface cleaning, a few stray pottery sherds dating to the Migration Period (presumably Sarmatian) were recovered from the natural humus layer. No archaeological features were observed. Given the location, archaeological settlement traces may be expected during future earthworks on the undeveloped plots north of the pipeline.
