Abstract:
As part of the infrastructure works for the Temple Quay development site, 42 geotechnical trial pits were excavated. A watching brief was maintained during this. Previous archaeological work in the area had exposed sections of the mid-13th century Portwall, which enclosed the southern part of Bristol. Other significant features previously revealed included the Tower Harratz; a Civil War redoubt and possible watergate. Six of the 42 pits revealed features and deposits of potential archaeological interest, post-medieval in date, and surviving at a reasonably depth. The deposits related to 18th-20th century industrial activity on the site, remains such as a kiln and Alum Works. [AIP]
