Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation by excavation and augering was conducted on the site of a proposed Education Centre straddling the entrance to South Close in the precincts of Christchurch Cathedral. With three exceptions, no significant archaeology was encoutered within about 1.00 metre of the current ground surface. The exceptions consisted of the base of a Campanile Mound, a 16th century earthen working surface and debris, and an early medieval building. In addition, a patchy 16th century clay working-floor with marble chips on its surface was found, this was deemed to have been the remains of a very extensive Caen-stone working horizon survived between later disturbances. Other features relating to later post-medieval activity on the site were also revealed. [Au(abr)] |
