Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring of the moat desilting at Holywells Park, Ipswich, was undertaken during December 2006. During these operations four lengths of tree trunk that had been bored through longitudinally were recovered. Each had a tapered end which fitted in to the opposite end of its neighbour and together they formed a pipe. They were recovered underneath a dam across one arm of the moat and would have allowed water to flow from one side to the other in a presumably controlled manner although this is believed to be a secondary use as they appear to have been designed to withstand substantial internal pressure such as that required in an ornamental fountain. An independent timber expert, Richard Darrah, was commissioned to undertake an assessment of the pipes and samples were taken for identification of the species which was confirmed as elm by Rowena Gale (both Darrah''s and Gale''s reports are included as appendices in this report). |
