Abstract: |
An archaeological monitoring of ground works was required during an emergency rerouting of an electric cable through the north-east corner of the Cathedral Close. Three trenches were excavated to a depth of 0.6m, measuring a total of approximately 40m in length. The only feature of archaeological significance encountered was a pit in Trench 2, containing two fragments of a Malvernian tile. A 0.4m deep deposit with 19th century finds and services was exposed in all trenches and is likely to be from the 1850s landscaping of the Cathedral Close. No articulated burials were encountered, indicating a significant reduction of the ground levels in the area during the landscaping in the 1850s. |
