Abstract: |
CFA Archaeology conducted a scheme of archaeological works which included an evaluation by way of trial trenching and a watching brief on all subsequent invasive groundworks. This was required due to the close proximity to the Dean Cemetery. The trial trenching recorded a series of deposits which indicate the area to the south of Dean Cemetery is made ground. No archaeological features were uncovered during the trial trenching. This interpretation was reinforced as the watching brief observed the removal of further deposits of made ground within the development site. The watching brief did record a small section of modern brick wall, which appeared not to be structural and probably represented a phase of landscaping prior to the site being developed. It also uncovered and retained several fragments of memorial masonry; some of which was inscribed. The masonry was recovered from dumped material close to the site boundary with the cemetery. No further archaeological features were discovered. |
