Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by The Legal and Property Services of Salisbury District Council to undertake a series of archaeological investigations during enabling and construction works, associated with the extension of office accommodation at Bourne Hill. The identification of in situ walls, during the 2004 evaluation, during the initial enabling works (2007) and the later targeted excavations prior to construction (2008), located immediately north of the rear of the western wing of the Council House, both on an east-west and a north-south alignment confirmed that remains most likely pertaining to St, Edmund's College survived below the current ground level. Targeted excavation established the surviving extent of the north-south medieval wall foundation which prompted a preservation in situ order. Other features assigned a 13th/14th century date, were two pits and a ditch terminus discovered during targeted excavation. In the Forecourt area of the Council House, walls running both north-south and east-west were identified during initial enabling works, which may pertain to the foundations of St. Edmund's College or perhaps more likely to the 16th century build, commonly referred to as the Estcourt House phase of construction. A number of inhumation burials were encountered during the excavation of a services trench for the SDC Server on land belonging to the Arts Centre. Most of the burials are thought to be either late medieval or post-medieval in date, and it is the intention that those which were removed for further study, will be re-buried. |
