Abstract: |
Context One Archaeological Services Ltd (COAS) carried out an Archaeological Watching Brief during groundworks for a raw water main at Monkton Combe, Bath and North-East Somerset . The project was commissioned and funded by Wessex Water plc. The investigation was advised by Mr Richard Sermon (Archaeological Officer, Bath and North East Somerset Council) following a consultation request by Mr Simon Hazel (Environmental Scientist, Wessex Water plc). Groundwork excavations generally revealed a sequence of topsoil and colluvium overlying natural lime-rich, loamy clay sediments. A buried soil horizon was recorded on one section of the pipeline and incorporated a single sherd of 19th century pottery. The foundations of the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway Line were exposed in the eastern extent of the easement and comprised clinker and stone chippings. The railway line was closed to the public in 1966 (S and DJR, 2005). No archaeological features/deposits were observed within the easement or the pipe trench and no further artefacts were recovered. |
