Abstract: |
The method used comprised: • The continuous archaeological supervision of all the groundworks related to the development. In March & August 2021, KDK Archaeology Ltd undertook a programme of Observation and Recording at Christ Church, during alterations to an existing boundary wall. The removal of the boundary wall and the excavation of a foundation trench for the emplacement of a new wall did not encounter any significant archaeological features, deposits or artefacts as only made-ground overlying natural chalk geology was revealed. The original chapel was built in 1801, and rebuilt in 1847 and these events, particularly the early 19th build, would have required appropriate levels of area preparation and landscaping all resulting in extensive truncation of any in situ stratigraphy and/or potential archaeological remains. The wall was probably (re-)built in the mid-19th century as it was constituted by a variety of post-medieval brick types, including both solid and frogged forms. |
