Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by SCAU at Watts Gallery in Compton Surrey, due to its proximity to a nearby Roman Villa and historic Compton village. A significant amount of redevelopment was conducted, with stripping of the associated car parks, as well as a system of new drainage located around the gallery building and across the site. The vast amount of excavated trenches revealed no features of archaeological significance and only a few finds of medieval or earlier date. Debris from the former 20th century kiln producing pottery and other objects were found, and is of some interest in relationship to objects held by Watts Gallery. |
