Abstract:		 A watching brief was carried out during the excavation of an ornamental lake and other groundworks at a development site. A photographic record was also made of a 19th century warehouse which was to be destroyed. A substantial Romano-British settlement and a burial site had been recorded nearby, and the site itself had been recorded in the Domesday Book as the location of a watermill. It was owned by Keynsham Abbey in medieval times, and had been recorded as a corn and fulling mill in the post-medieval period. A brassworks operated at the site from the early 18th century until 1927. During the watching brief, the remains of a wharf were revealed and arches were recorded beneath a building, which may have represented tail leats from the mill wheels. A row of seven brick arches was also observed, each of which led into a small blocked tunnel. The purpose of these structures could not be ascertained, but it was assumed that they had played a role in the industrial function of the site. It was concluded that further work in connection with the present development would not be necessary. [AIP]
