Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out during October 2016 at 2 Abbey Cottages, Abbey Precinct, Church Street, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, in predetermination of an application for Scheduled Monument Consent and planning permission for the erection of a rear extension. The field evaluation followed an earlier desk based assessment that identified the area of the proposed development as the potential site of medieval walls and floor surfaces of former buildings associated with the abbey precinct. The excavation, which went to a depth of 1m, found no evidence for remains associated with the medieval abbey. Instead a sequence of 19th century deposits characterised the stratigraphy of the trench. The results of the evaluation trench have shown that the development is unlikely to impact on archaeological remains associated with the abbey precinct. Excavation confirmed that the development, at a maximum depth of 0.60m below existing ground level, is unlikely to impact on anything other than 19th century building debris and modern topsoil. Below this is another thick layer of 19th century made ground providing the necessary buffer of 0.30m between the underneath of the proposed slab foundation and the top of any significant archaeological deposits that may exist beneath the bottom of the trench. |
