Abstract: |
Border Archaeology was instructed by Bristol Water plc. to carry out a programme of Archaeological Observation during the ground-works phase of a mains renewal programme at Woodford Lodge, Chew Stoke. The pipeline ran close to the NW perimeter of Chew Valley Lake, an area considered to be archaeologically sensitive due to significant evidence of prehistoric, Roman and medieval occupation having been identified in the wider locality of the route, mainly during an extensive programme of excavations undertaken by the Ministry of Works in the early 1950s. However, an initial Rapid Appraisal, conducted by Border Archaeology, identified the potential for encountering significant archaeological remains in the vicinity of the pipeline route itself as moderate, an assessment confirmed by the results of the Archaeological Observation. The scheme of works required the excavation of five engineering access pits located at approximately 150m intervals along the pipeline route, two of which were located over known existing services. The ground within these pits was, therefore, disturbed and no archaeological features were encountered. The remaining access pits were similarly devoid of significant archaeological features comprising largely sterile clays. |
