Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Morgan Sindall plc. on behalf of Severn Trent Water to undertake an archaeological watching brief during work at Lydney, Gloucestershire (NGR 364588, 202934) during groundwork associated with the insertion of a gravity pipe, a new pumping station, and the creation of a site compound. In common with the previous archaeological investigations, monitoring of the area stripped for the compound and pumping station revealed evidence for post-medieval activity. This consisted of two layers or spreads of material, one of which contained late 17th to early 18th century material. These spreads may relate to the distribution of material by post-medieval ploughing and may be deliberate attempts to enrich the soil. Within this area, the remains of a stone built and stone paved building were also located, but not disturbed by the excavations. This is likely to be the remains of an outbuilding associated with the post-medieval farmstead which lies on the north-eastern edge of the site. Arrangements were made for this to be preserved in situ. The watching brief was undertaken in February 2013. |
