Abstract: |
The Archaeology Company Ltd carried out a programme of archaeological monitoring during the excavation of a new service run to the south of the Vicars Choral. The project has identified that the original service run appears to have been wider in places than the new service run and was in areas cut deeper than expected. However, a series of features truncated by the original service run remained at the lower levels of the excavation. The work conducted has illustrated that the archaeological remains in the area of the service run have survived the impact of modern development, for instance a brick built well and two possible stone surfaces are preserved below the current yard surface at a depth of c 0.40m (55.82m AOD) and below the area of the Dean's garden at a depth of c 0.70m (54.63m AOD), respectively. However the excavation of the original service run has, as expected severely impacted upon the stratigraphic relationships, nevertheless the endurance of archaeological features despite modern intrusion indicates that the potential for archaeological remains to be present at a higher levels outside the line of the service run is considered high. |
