Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Currie and Brown UK Ltd, on behalf of Green Lanes Jersey Property Unit Trust (Rockspring Property Investment Managers LLP), to undertake an archaeological watching brief during initial groundworks for the redevelopment of the south-west entrance to the Green Lane Shopping Centre, Barnstaple, Devon, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 255762 133332. The groundworks covered an area of approximately 510 square meters. Two footing 'trenches' were opened using an mechanical excavator fitted with a breaker and then a toothless grading bucket to remove sub-floor material. Due to the depth of the existing reinforced concrete shopping centre floor, the associated bedding layers and substantial nature of the previous foundations no surviving archaeological features, deposits or artefacts were identified in either of the excavated footing trenches. Trench 1 terminated at the upper surface of a concrete underpinning associated with the historic gable wall of the adjoining Grade II Listed building of 38 High Street. Trench 2 terminated at the upper surface of natural geological clay. |
