Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in December 2009 on land at Westmoreland House, Stokes Croft, Bristol. Two trenches were excavated. The evaluation encountered a number of walls and surfaces, as well as cut features, such as pits and features most likely associated with cultivation. The results of the evaluation indicate that the site is not likely to have been developed until the earlier part of the eighteenth century. Contrary to the findings of a previous archaeological investigation, no evidence for the presence of features associated with Bristol's Civil War defences, postulated as extending through the site, was encountered during the current project. Rather, the feature previously interpreted as possibly associated with the Civil War defences would appear to be related to the construction of a wall in the eighteenth century. Later features include those most probably associated with occupation of the site by a carriage works dating to the mid nineteenth century, as well as subsequent activity associated with a rubber company from the early twentieth century and the construction of the multi-storey Westmoreland House in 1963. |
