Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in May 2016 at Llanthony Secunda Priory, Llanthony Road, Gloucester. A total of five trenches was excavated. The evaluation identified an undated, though possibly medieval, metalled surface in Trench H1. Two probable beaten earth floor layers, of possible medieval date, were identified in Trench H2. The latest of these was overlain by a stone surface or path and was cut by a number of pits of 19th-century date. A further probable beaten earth floor layer was identified in Trench H3, which although undated, could again be of medieval date. The presence of a former structure associated with this layer was suggested by a robber cut and a probable posthole. A later, post-medieval, metalled surface sealed the robber cut, posthole and beaten earth floor within the trench. The construction of the Eastern Canal Wall (in this location) was found to post-date a deposit of 13th to 16th-century date. |
