Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was asked to undertake a desk-based study and archaeological evaluation trenching in the garden of The Rectory, Coronation Road, Bleadon, North Somerset. The proposal for the site is for the construction of a single dwelling. The site lies at the southern end of the present Rectory Garden on the west of Coronation Road, in close proximity to the parish church and the historic core of the medieval village. Given the evidence from the known archaeology and standing historic buildings in the immediate vicinity it would appear that the Rectory gardens have medium to high archaeological potential. The gardens appear to have remained open throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, but the re-building of the Rectory to the north and subdivision of the former gardens and construction of Rochester House in the 1970s will have caused substantial changes in the sites immediate vicinity. The evaluation trenching trenches revealed that the site had been significantly landscaped, with the ground terraced and then raised. There is limited archaeological potential and it therefore seems unnecessary for any further archaeological works for this proposed development. |
