Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the construction of a new school building at Notre Dame School, Ranmoor, Sheffield. Vinci Construction UK Ltd. commissioned this work in order to be able to mitigate potential archaeology which was felt could be present within the Proposed Development Area following recommendations in a desk-based assessment of the school (CS Archaeology 2010). The potential for 19th century archaeology was felt to exist below the school's faith garden, which in part reflected the plan of the former Victorian glasshouse, in 2004. Evidence in the form of a rectangular consolidated stone base was revealed which closely correlates to the estimated position which was established cartographically. The glass house walls were no longer extant and had been removed or replaced by modern concrete footings. Two architectural masonry fragments were recovered and recorded; each featured a well-defined chamfer, and they probably represented the stone plinth of the Victorian glasshouse. |
