Abstract: |
The wall was deconstructed by certified individuals under constant archaeological monitoring.
Removed bricks were cleaned of mortar and suitable bricks were retained for the reconstruction process. These bricks were removed for storage offsite to prevent theft.
A sample brick was taken to York Handmade Brick Company at Arne to source suitable materials for the reconstruction and a sample of mortar was analysed to determine its matrix for the reconstruction process Due to the demolition of the late Victorian wall ceasing at ground level, no underlying remains were
exposed. In lieu of excavating a new trench for the footings of the wall reconstruction, a concrete pad
was poured on top of the existing wall footings to support the new wall. This negated the necessity for further intrusive works and no archaeological remains were disturbed or recovered during these works. All affected historical remains were visible during demolition and no additional intrusive works were necessary for the reconstruction phase of this project.
It can be concluded that any archaeological remains present remain undisturbed in situ. |
