Abstract: |
recording of nine test pits following investigation for signs of subsidence at John Harvey House The archaeological recording work provided an opportunity to assess the below-ground potential for surviving archaeological features associated with Harvey’s Foundry and John Harvey House.
Test pitting revealed surviving floors associated with the former foundry complex at the rear of John Harvey House, with sections of cast iron rising mains reused as columns supporting a 19th century first floor drawing office placed on a lime floor surface in TP-1 and a granite base set in a granite flagstone floor in TP-2. The floors survived at depths of between 0.55m and 0.7m below the present ground surface.
A number of 19th or 20th century cast iron water pipes were identified in test pits 3, 9 and 10 and a late 19th or 20th century slate-lined culverted drain identified in test pit 8.
There were no artefacts recovered during the course of the work. |
