Abstract: |
In March 2012 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording at Waltham Abbey Royal Gunpowder Mills, Beaulieu Drive / Highbridge Street, Waltham Abbey, Essex (NGR TL 3768 0057). The monitoring was commissioned by AECOM Ltd and was carried out during the construction of a new sewer rising main to provide adequate discharge from the Lee Valley White Water Rafting Centre. The site is to the immediate west of the historic core of Waltham Abbey and lies within the Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM) associated with The Royal Gunpowder Mills. The monitoring was carried out within the SAM's smaller detached area at the southern end of Beaulieu Drive. Gunpowder production has been taking place on the site since the mid 17th century, and the site had a potential for archaeological remains related this manufacturing activity. In the event the monitoring revealed the remains of two modern walls. |
