Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological works was undertaken by Border Archaeology during the ground-works associated with water mains renewal scheme located within the village of Wookey (Somerset). A number of residential streets were affected by the work (centred on NGR ST51955) defined by Church Road and High Street to the north and Preywater Road and Holmlea to the west. The work revealed geological deposits of Permo-Triassic reddish mudstones overlain by postmedieval to modern features. The only features of archaeological significance observed during the intrusive ground-works were on the northern part of the site where a post-medieval rubbish pit and property boundary wall were revealed in High Street and evidence for a series of 18-19th century courtyards at Church Road. All natural layers observed during the course of the work had been heavily truncated during installation and maintenance of existing services. |
