Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out during the handexcavation of a trench at the Sports and Social Club, Abbey House, Buildwas Abbey, Shropshire. The trench led from a location near the southeast corner of a Transformer Building and was required as part of measures to provide an electrical earthing upgrade to the structure. The work was undertaken by Archaeology Wales Ltd. The trench located a medieval supporting buttress, in a good state of preservation, which was located below a post-medieval wall that currently forms the southern side of the Abbey House Transformer Building. Originally, the buttress would have been located at the southeast corner of a possible chapel building, located close to the Abbot's Lodging and Infirmary of Buildwas Abbey. The building was located at the end of a long room that projected eastwards from the eastern range of the Abbey, and as such was probably constructed between c. 1160 and the early thirteen century, as part of the Abbey's primary phase of development. Plan and section drawings and a photographic record of the buttress were produced prior to the backfilling of the trench. A photographic record was also made of surrounding areas of the Transformer Building wall. |
