| Abstract: |
The assessment was undertaken prior to the proposed redevelopment of the site. Consultation of documentary and map-based archives identified the presence of known archaeological deposits within the study area. The site, located beyond the urban core of the Anglo-Saxon and later town, was known to have formed part of an estate attached to St. James Priory during the medieval and early post-medieval period. It was uncertain however whether any ancillary priory buildings extended into the study area itself, which historic map coverage recorded as undeveloped fields during the early post-medieval period. During the 18th century and 19th centuries the urbanisation of the Kingshown area led to the construction of terraced housing within the study area alongside the Montague Street frontage. These individual residences were later demolished and the southern part of the site occupied by the premises of the Bristol Wire Rope Company. Potential medieval and early post-medieval agricultural and/or garden activity within the study area, together with the impact of post-medieval housing, the later factory complex and modern landscaping of the site were all likely to have damaged the surviving archaeological resource to some extent. Previous archaeological investigations within the site had, however, identified the presence of medieval pottery as well as surviving post-medieval structural remains associated with the early urbanisation of the site.
