Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology were commissioned by Historic England, the Client, to undertake an archaeological watching brief on the maintenance of the boundary fence around the site of Waverley Abbey, which is partly which is partly under guardianship by English Heritage. Waverley Abbey is a Scheduled Ancient Monument (National Heritage List for England no. 1007814) . The abbey is situated on the flood plain of the River Wey and was the first Cistercian house to be established in Britain. The watching brief involved the removal and replacement of an existing rotten fence post located at the northern kissing gate entrance to the site and the construction of four new stock fence posts along the eastern and western boundary fences. A possible wall foundation was identified at the location of the northern kissing gate post hole. This structure was the only archaeological feature identified during the archaeological watching brief works. Earlier truncation associated with the initial construction of the boundary fence and the size of the area subject to groundworks are thought to be key factors in the lack of archaeological remains identified during the replacement of the four stock fence posts. |
