Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring on land at Cleeve Abbey, Washford, Somerset (ST 047 407), was carried out by Exeter Archaeology (EA) during March 2009. The work was commissioned by English Heritage (EH) as part of ongoing improvements to the site drainage. The work comprised the hand-excavation of two trenches outside the east and south-east doorways into the Day Room. Further works associated with the erection of a new sign at the entrance to the site was also monitored. An evaluation trench outside the eastern entrance into the Day Room exposed the remains of the foundations of the eastern range of buildings and the remnants of a drainage ditch. This was sealed by demolition deposits dating to the Dissolution of the abbey. Outside the southeast doorway a smaller trench turned up only modern deposits. |
